Dr. Lynette Reid is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioethics at 鶹, where she has been a faculty member since 2006. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has held several visiting scholar positions, including at the University of Sydney, University of Birmingham, and University of Toronto. Dr. Reid's research focuses on bioethics, public health, and the ethics of advocacy, with particular attention to issues such as justice in healthcare, the ethics of frailty screening, and social inequalities in health. She is the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Public Health Ethics and has contributed extensively to the academic discourse on health ethics through numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. Dr. Reid is a recognized leader in curriculum development, particularly in the integration of anti-oppressive approaches in medical education and has led various initiatives to diversify case-based learning at 鶹.

Leanne Picketts has worked in medical/health education since 2005. She holds a Master of Education in Curriculum Studies; her thesis focused on exploring the patient-centered curriculum within undergraduate medicine at 鶹. Since 2011 Leanne has been a simulated patient educator with the Centre for Collaborative Clinical Learning and Research at 鶹, and part of her work includes curriculum development for the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Health. From 2022 to 2024, she worked in collaboration with the Case Diversification Committee to review and revise case-based learning tutorial cases to include principles of anti-oppression, including equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. This included reviewing and writing content for inclusive language, patient-centeredness, and updating clinical care frameworks (e.g. structural determinants of health; inclusive care for patients with disabilities; affirming care for sexual orientation and gender identity).

The Management Without Borders team is the first group to receive this award since the 2014 extension of the university-wide teaching awards. Management 5000 is a required class for all the Faculty of Management’s on-site graduate programs (the CRMBA, MLIS, MPA, MES, and MREM) and collaboratively taught by faculty members from each of the schools. The group was recognized in particular for the way in which the course is designed and run, which models what it teaches by mirroring the interdisciplinary and multi-professional collaborative team environment of the modern workplace. The teaching team was also cited for its demonstration of clear evidence of the course's impact on the education of its participants as well as benefit to the community.
