Workshop VII
Workshop VII: Educational Scholarship: What’s in Your…?
Family medicine has a long-standing tradition of making educator’s work public, through our meetings, the STFM Bookstore, and listserves. However, with the emergence of Web-based educational repositories (eg, STFM’s Family Medicine Digital Resources Library, AAMC MedEdPORTAL), the products emerging from our daily work as educators can not only be made public, but peer reviewed consistent with the principles of scholarship. This hands-on workshop will help you identify those “daily work” products – course or rotation syllabi, PowerPoint slides, learner assessment tools, innovative teaching strategies, PDA forms – that can be re-crafted as a scholarly work that others can access, review, and use.
We will begin by asking you, “What’s in your __________ (file cabinet, desk drawer, flash driver, binder, standing pile somewhere on your desk)?” And then, using a combination of lectures, examples, and small-group break outs (led by an experienced facilitator whose work has been accepted in a peer-reviewed educational repository), we will outline how to reframe your work as an endurable education product suitable for repository submission. We will also touch on more traditional outlets for those good ideas that are “in your ______” but are not a match for traditional journal publications venues. While the emphasis for this workshop is on endurable products, we will provide a brief review of these other opportunities highlighting Academic Medicine’s “Teaching and Learning Moments,” Medical Education’s “Really Good Stuff” and Family Medicine’s ”For the Office Based Teacher of Family Medicine” and “Innovations in Family Medicine Education”.
More specifically, at the conclusion of the workshop attendees will be able to:
- Identify the key features of educational scholarship
- Identify daily activity products/ items that meet the criteria (or with minor revision could) associated with educational scholarship (eg, those items which emerge from daily educational roles, activities)
- List dissemination venues for educator’s scholarly work including peer reviewed repositories and journals
- Select an item and identify the key elements/tasks (with a timeline) needed to transform item into an endurable product for submission to a peer reviewed repository (eg, FMDRL, HEAL, MedEd PORTAL). (Note: Tasks include determining if there are co-authors, the need for instructor guide, copyright permission, etc).
- Draft selected sections of a submission form to a peer reviewed repository
- Leave with a sense of accomplishment and membership in a community of family medical educators.
