How can you use CBME to benefit your academic career?
Lessons Learned
Medical Education 2014
How can we best support faculty members
interested in engaging in education scholarship?
ES is one building block of an academic career
Success happens when level & type of involvement
is clearly delineated, early on, as part of
academic career planning
ES is not synonymous with excellent teaching
It requires a kind of “going meta” in
which faculty frame and
systematically investigate questions
related to student learning.
Hutchings, P. and Shulman, L.S. (1999). Change, 31 (11-15)
ES is not synonymous with educational leadership

PASS: Are we changing the culture of assessment?
None of this competency gets at the
art of medicine, the stuff that we
can’t really measure effectively…
we currently in my opinion don’t
capture any of that, right?” (AA-11)
