Everett Community College medical transcription and editing instructor Elizabeth (Betsy) Stam and student Sarah Olson have received national awards from the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity. Stam, who has taught at EvCC since 2003, received the educator of the year award. She is an “extraordinary leader who sets herself apart by doing more and going farther than her peers and other educators in our industry. She's caring, compassionate and strives for excellence in all that she does. She's not only a great educator, administrator and advisor, but sets a high standard in how we should relate to and engage with students as well as others,” according to the ADHI award. Olson received the rising star award, presented to a student winner of this year’s essay contest “Make Your Dreams Become Your Reality.” Olson wrote about persevering to achieve her dream of attending college after several health-related setbacks.
