MedEdPORTAL Workshop Overviews
MedEdPORTAL is a new approach to online publication that offers peer
review for teaching resources. Examples of MedEdPORTAL publications include
tutorials, virtual patients, cases, lab manuals, assessment instruments,
faculty development materials, etc. MedEdPORTAL is available free to the
general public and covers the continuum of medical education (i.e. undergraduate,
graduate, and continuing medical education). MedEdPORTAL contains descriptive
information about published resources and indicates how these materials
may be accessed or obtained.
MedEdPORTAL is a resource designed to help faculty publish and share educational
resources. A long standing priority of the AAMC Group on Educational Affairs,
MedEdPORTAL is the only resource that focuses exclusively on the continuum
of medical education and addresses the unique needs of medical educators.
MedEdPORTAL was designed to promote collaboration and educational scholarship
by facilitating the open exchange of peer-reviewed teaching resources.

MedEdPORTAL Overview - Small Group Discusion Sessions
Organizer:
Robby Reynolds, MPA
Association of American Medical Colleges
Discussants:
Amy Blue, PhD
Medical University of South Carolina College of Medicine
Chris Candler, MD
Association of American Medical Colleges
Sheila Chauvin, PhD
Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans
Susan Kies, EdD
University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign
Description of Topic and Rationale: New forms of digital
publishing have provided unprecedented opportunities for publication
of scholarly works online. The Association of American Medical Colleges
(AAMC) has developed MedEdPORTAL (www.aamc.org/mededportal)
to serve as a prestigious publishing venue through which medical
educators and learners might disseminate their educational works
for free. MedEdPORTAL was designed to promote collaboration and
educational scholarship by facilitating the exchange of high quality
peer reviewed educational materials, knowledge, and solutions. Through
MedEdPORTAL, medical educators, learners, and medical schools may
both publish and share instructional and assessment materials for
free. Examples of MedEdPORTAL publications include tutorials, virtual
patients, cases, lab manuals, assessment instruments, faculty development
materials, etc.
Publishing within MedEdPORTAL has several benefits for medical educators
including recognition of peer-reviewed work that may be considered
by promotion & tenure committees, useful feedback for enhancement
or expansion of the resource, and expanding the audience of potential
users.
This small group discussion will provide an overview of the MedEdPORTAL
system, including examples of various types of materials, an explanation
of the submission and peer review process, and provide testimonials
from faculty who have published in MedEdPORTAL. Participants will
learn how published educational teaching resources can be considered
for educational scholarship. In addition, participants will learn
how MedEdPORTAL tracks usage and dissemination of each published
submission in an effort to measure impact.

Purpose and Rationale: MedEdPORTAL (www.aamc.org/mededportal)
is a free resource designed to help medical educators and learners
publish and share educational resources. A long standing priority
of the AAMC Group on Educational Affairs, MedEdPORTAL is the only
resource that focuses exclusively on the continuum of medical education
(i.e. undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education)
and addresses the unique needs of medical educators and learners.
MedEdPORTAL was designed to promote collaboration and educational
scholarship by facilitating the open exchange of high quality peer-reviewed
teaching resources. Examples of MedEdPORTAL publications include
tutorials, virtual patients, cases, lab manuals, assessment instruments,
faculty development materials, etc.
This workshop will begin with an overview of the MedEdPORTAL system,
including examples of various types of materials and the submission
and peer review process. In addition, participants will learn how
MedEdPORTAL tracks usage and dissemination of each published submission
in an effort to measure impact and assist educators with promotion
and tenure. Each participant will consider their own educational
resources and identify potential items which may be suitable for
submission to MedEdPORTAL. Selected items will then be discussed
to i) examine the degree to which the items meet accepted standards
of educational scholarship, and ii) draft a MedEdPORTAL submission
form.
Specific Objectives: By the end of the mini-workshop, participants
will be able to:
- Describe the purpose of MedEdPORTAL and the value it brings
to the medical education community.
- Describe the MedEdPORTAL peer review process.
- Identify an item (e.g., instructional material, faculty development
resource, learner assessment tool, evaluation instrument, virtual
patient case) that would be appropriate for submission to MedEdPORTAL.
- Evaluate the degree to which the items meet accepted standards
of educational scholarship and identify additions/revisions
that might enhance its scholarly value.
- Complete an initial draft of the MedEdPORTAL submission form.
- Inform colleagues about the purpose of MedEdPORTAL, the review
criteria and process, and assist them with the submission of
their own materials.
Intended Audience: All medical school faculty, students,
educators, and administrators. .
