Workshop
Description: A key determinant in academic advancement for clinician educators is producing scholarship.1 However, lack of formal training, mentorship, and dedicated time are a few factors that prevent clinician educators from successfully designing and completing research.2 Scholarship communities and networks have been proven to offer the support needed to overcome barriers and lead to increases in group and individual productivity.3-5 This workshop will guide participants in supporting their own scholarship productivity through community.
A scholarship community is an intentional group that promotes productivity in interdependent ways including: (1) establishing clear goals, (2) maintaining a focus on research, (3) ensuring frequent communication, (4) identifying gaps and increasing resources, (5) promoting project teamwork, and (6) offering mentorship and accountability.4,6 Scholarship communities may exist within a single institutional department or span multiple locations and areas of expertise. For participants taking tentative first steps toward scholarship, looking for research expansion, or preparing to build a scholarship group from scratch, this workshop supports success using best practice guidelines. Presented at an international conference in 2022 to excellent reviews (98% overall effective), the workshop provides participants with resources, tools and guidance for enhancing medical education scholarship productivity by collaborating with colleagues and building an intentional community of practice.
