Advance our Education Mission
The Department of Medicine Educator Academy supports and empowers the people who advance our education mission. Join us for:
- Community and connection with like-minded faculty and staff educators with common interests
- Opportunities for cross-divisional teaching, research, and project collaboration
- Resources for career development in education
Two Levels of Membership
Senior faculty and staff members (Experienced Educators) will advise and guide junior faculty and staff (Emerging Educators) who have a passion for education.
Experienced and Emerging Educators
Experienced Educators are senior faculty and staff who commit to actively participating in the Academy by:
- Serving as teaching, research, or scholarship mentors
- Observing Emerging Educators in the educational setting to provide feedback
- Reviewing education portfolios
- Participating in educational sessions
- Serving as chair of a promotion oversight committee
We define Experienced Educators as those with interest or experience in education. Some examples include:
- Formal role in education (e.g., education program coordinator/manager/administrator, education program director/course director, division head, chair, etc.)
- Previous training in education (e.g., participation in formal teaching/mentoring/scholarship programs)
- Received education awards (teaching awards, educational scholarship awards)
- Participated in education scholarship and/or received an education grant
- Included education as an area of excellence or significant accomplishment for promotion to Associate/Full Professor
Emerging Educators are junior faculty and staff who receive support in the Academy by:
- Receiving mentorship
- Developing educational portfolios
- Receiving feedback on teaching, research, and scholarship
Emerging Educators should have an enthusiasm for education and an interest in engaging with one of the three pillars.
