A new tool effectively tracks faculty educational activities, revealing varied contributions across departments and pathways. This educational added value unit (EAVU) system can support hospitalists and inform educational development.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Academic Medicine
  • Faculty Development

Background:

  • University hospitalists are expected to educate healthcare professionals but often lack dedicated time and support.
  • Quantifying educational efforts is crucial for recognizing and supporting faculty contributions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a tool for tracking faculty educational activities.
  • To assess the tool's applicability and ease of use across different divisions.
  • To compare educational output using the educational added value unit (EAVU) across professional pathways and divisions.

Main Methods:

  • Educational activities were defined and ranked by preparation, presentation time, and impact to calculate EAVU.
  • Faculty from five diverse divisions (hospital medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, behavioral medicine, biostatistics) participated.

  • A retrospective, self-report tracking tool was utilized.

    • Main Results:

    • 62% of invited faculty participated, with all earning EAVUs, but with significant distribution variance.
    • Median EAVU differed by division, with emergency medicine highest (26.1) and biostatistics lowest (8.2).
    • Faculty on an educator pathway reported higher median EAVUs than those on clinical or research pathways.

    Conclusions:

    • The EAVU tool shows potential for tracking diverse faculty educational activities and pathways.
    • This system could particularly benefit hospitalists undertaking often unsupported teaching roles.
    • Further research is needed to implement EAVU across institutions and link it to support for teaching and scholarship.
