Cheers for Peers is a peer recognition program to help doctors recognize their colleagues for brightening up the workplace, going the extra mile, or being there for support. It’s a way to celebrate the small acts of kindness we encounter every day.
Send a big “thank you” to your colleague, fellow or resident for brightening your day by completing our short survey, reflecting on:
- Those thoughtful words that lift our spirits
- The small act of support that helped us through our day
- Attitudes or behaviors we wished we could clone to make our workplace better and brighter
- The encouragement we needed to hear to move forward with a difficult task
- Any act or behavior that turned our frown upside down
All submissions are anonymous, but doctors can self-identify if they wish! If you have any questions, contact ThuTrang Du at tdu@med.cornell.edu. To recognize a non-physician member of the care team, please submit your nomination to our Star Performers Employee Recognition Program.
We are pleased to recognize our many faculty, fellows and residents who received “shout-outs” in 2023.
