Workshop

Description: Medical education and medical educators (MEs) have always been an important part of training and practice. Over the last generation medical education has become more professionalized as an academic field and career path through increased scholarship, research, recognition, and value. There are many opportunities for MEs, yet there are no specific structured professional career paths for MEs. Critical for MEs career planning and success are access to role models, networking, mentoring, and specific advising, and guidance.

The National Academy of Distinguished Educators in Pediatrics (NADEP, https://www.academicpeds.org/groups-networks/national-academy-of-distinguished-educators-in-pediatrics-nadep/) is an honorary service academy comprised of national experts in medical education with the goals of advancing the professional development and careers of pediatric educators, educational scholarship, and pediatric educational programs.

NADEP members will serve as workshop facilitators, engage participants in opportunities to collaborate, network, and receive continued mentoring in the field of medical education for planning and building a successful career. Workshop activities include participant reflection on their own passion and talents to help goal setting, peer and facilitator discussions around medical educational scholarship, leadership and administration, and mentoring and collaboration, plus the opportunity for continued longitudinal mentoring over the following 12 months.

Learning Objectives:

Identify one’s own passions and strengths as they relate to a successful medical education career
Discuss barriers and challenges to, and potential options and solutions for building one’s medical education career along with planning next steps along one’s career pathway
Network with senior and peer medical educators with opportunities for longitudinal mentoring over the following 12 months
