MedEdPORTAL Annual Meeting Program

Saturday, November 1

3:00 - 5:00p

MedEdPORTAL Advocacy Training Workshop

Note: Open Workshop

Description: In 2005 the Association of American Medical Colleges developed and launched MedEdPORTAL as a free publishing venue and dissemination portal to support educators and learners as they create and use on-line teaching materials, assessment tools, and faculty development resources around the world. The voice of MedEdPORTAL resides with its member institutions, affiliations, and partner organizations. MedEdPORTAL seeks to make this voice heard by training individuals, or Advocates, as a channel for the promotion of this unique service program. Advocates will play an important role in distributing training information, acting as on-site liaisons, and recruiting submissions and peer reviewers to MedEdPORTAL.

MedEdPORTAL Peer Reviewer Training Workshop

Note: Open Workshop

Description: Impartial assessment is an essential component of scholarly review. Peer review is the attentive, unbiased assessment of materials submitted to publication outlets by reviewers and is the very foundation of academic publication. MedEdPORTAL maintains a pool of 650+ nominated expert reviewers that serve as important quality gatekeepers to the system. To evaluate assigned submissions, reviewers must, in part, scrutinize the quality and quantity of information contained in both the provided submission form and in the resource itself. Due to the tremendous growth and continued expansion of MedEdPORTAL, this workshop will serve as a foundation for the recruitment and training of reviewers.

MedEdPORTAL Author Training Workshop

Note: Open Workshop

Description: MedEdPORTAL was designed to serve as a prestigious publishing venue through which faculty may disseminate their educational works. An educational resource successfully peer-reviewed and published through MedEdPORTAL is considered a publication and is comparable to a peer-reviewed research paper published through a reputable print-based journal. Authors who publish through MedEdPORTAL benefit from the AAMC's authority and credibility, and have access to an audience drawn from its broad membership. Publications in MedEdPORTAL should be considered compelling scholarly contributions suitable for use to support promotion and tenure decisions. This workshop aims to provide educators the tools necessary to prepare materials in preparation to submitting to MedEdPORTAL.
