Feature
Educational Scholarship: How Do We Define and Acknowledge It?
The AAMC's Group on Educational Affairs (GEA) has long recognized that excellence in physician education is driven by faculty members, and that faculty must be recognized and rewarded as educators. In 2006, the GEA hosted a conference to help articulate a set of common standards for selecting, presenting, and evaluating evidence of educational contributions for academic promotion. Read highlights from the conference—what happened, next steps—and access the full report.
