Jane F. Desforges Distinguished Teacher Award is an annual award of the American College of Physicians (ACP). The award is given to a Fellow or Master of the ACP who has, "demonstrated the ennobling qualities of a great teacher as judged by the accomplishments of former students". (In some years, there have been two winners.) It was originally established as the Distinguished Teacher Award of the American College of Physicians (ACP) on April 5, 1968 by the board of regents. In 2007, it was renamed to honor Jane F. Desforges, the first woman to receive the award, in 1988.
If the winner has not previously been elected a Master of the ACP, they are so recognized.
