The Department of Internal Medicine Advancement of Clinician-Educator Scholarship (ACES) Faculty Development Program launches in July 2019.
Developed from the feedback after a recent department faculty needs assessment survey, ACES was created to foster the career development of junior clinician-educators in educational scholarship.
In the survey, respondents at the instructor level and in the clinician-educator track reported they lacked the knowledge and skills to conduct scholarship. Additionally, the survey indicated that those surveyed wanted more training in research skills specific to the needs of a clinician-educator including, curriculum/program development, survey designs, qualitative research, and program evaluation and feedback.
The program will be led by Donna Windish, MD, MPH, associate professor of medicine and clinician-educator in the Section of General Internal Medicine. Sixteen additional faculty inside and outside of the department will participate in the program. These faculty have training to meet the research skill needs of the program participants.
Congratulations to the five inaugural faculty accepted into the one-year ACES faculty development program.
