A new Educator Portfolio (EP 2.0) template streamlines evaluation of educational scholarship, promoting academic advancement for educators. This standardized approach aims to reduce promotion disparities by objectively assessing teaching contributions.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Academic Medicine
- Faculty Development
Background:
- Academic medical centers face challenges in promoting educators equitably compared to researchers.
- Narrow definitions of scholarship and evaluation criteria hinder recognition of educational contributions.
- Existing portfolio templates lack integration with advancements in defining educational scholarship.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and implement a streamlined, criteria-based Educator Portfolio (EP 2.0) template.
- To enable objective evaluation of educational scholarship for academic advancement and professional development.
- To address disparities in promotion between educators and researchers.
Main Methods:
- A working group designed the EP 2.0 template focusing on recent educational activities.
- Rigorous evaluation methods were established for objective assessment.
- The template was integrated into the Academy of Medical Educators application and later campus-wide systems.
Main Results:
- The EP 2.0 template achieved high satisfaction among users and the selection committee.
- Positive feedback highlighted the template's transparency, ease of use, and streamlined format.
- Integration into campus-wide systems facilitated broader adoption.
Conclusions:
- The EP 2.0 template effectively supports the objective evaluation of educational scholarship.
- This initiative has the potential to decrease promotion disparities for academic educators.
- Dissemination and further study are planned to assess the template's impact.
