Hoffman

Year Awarded: 2007
Anton Hoffman earned a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. For 15 years he has been teaching anatomy to professional and undergraduate students at Texas A&M. One of his students has said of him, “His teaching style captures the classes’ attention and makes us feel like real participants in our own learning, rather than a room full of warm bodies sitting through yet another lecture.” Dr. Hoffman is a dynamic and motivating speaker, engaging the students with thought-provoking questions and discussions. He also is known for his ability to make the most confusing and complex concepts understandable, in part through his considerable skills as an anatomical illustrator. According to a former student, who is now a fellow teacher of anatomy, “In teaching a difficult class that has a reputation for making or breaking careers in medicine and veterinary medicine alike, it is truly an astounding achievement that Dr. Hoffman is genuinely adored by his students.”
