The Department of Internal Medicine’s Advancement of Clinician-Educator Scholarship (ACES) Faculty Development Program has accepted eight new junior faculty for the fifth year of the program. ACES scholars attend year-long seminars aimed at enhancing participant knowledge and skills in educational scholarship. Each participant will develop an individual educational project with mentorship provided through the ACES faculty leader, Donna Windish, MD, MPH.
ACES has already trained 21 clinician-educators in the Department of Internal Medicine and participants have been productive with their scholarly work. Past participants have developed curricula, conducted needs assessments, garnered numerous leadership positions, obtained grant funding, presented locally, regionally, and nationally, and published their work.
The following are the eight faculty, their sections, and their area of interest in educational scholarship. The next call for submissions for the program will be in the fall of 2023.
