Mentor networks for sure. Mentor (singular) = much less useful, adaptable. Too big an ask for one individual mentor to assist with all areas growth/development. #MedEd
Nothing like teaching the skill of history-taking to eager and enthusiastic first year med students to make you feel like a superstar. #GIM -we know H&Ps. #MedEd#academicmedicine
T1 #meded This is a challenging area. How do any of us know what our real needs are? It's well known self-assessment is not reliable.....can we answer these questions?
A1 Too many needs to list! but for #meded : faculty need to be given time AND the know-how tools to be teachers; we have little formal education in HOW to teach...when you provide that >> faculty roles in teaching & better learner outcomes
Yup -- history and EBM seems to be what we GIMers are tapped to do these days. The only thing I would add is that we should be BUILDING histories WITH patients rather than TAKING them from patients...

T1 Faculty needs are multitudinous. The only way to even meet some of those needs effectively is through a continues cycle of needs assessment and aligned program evaluation. #meded
Def long term; an investment in developing educators; it has to be like a 1 credit a term lifelong degree ... there is too much ongoing metamorphosis as a teacher /clinical teacher for it to be finished/stopped #meded
A1 we use a couple of instruments to encourage reflection on areas of needed development. The results can turn into an individual development plan and in aggregate inform program planning #MedEd#medEdChat
T1: #meded The Faculty Development topic is SO important and escalating. Competing pressures are threatening the investments we are making in humans. How can we secure our future?
When picking #meded career - great to look at what prior 2-3 year faculty development sessions have been provided: curriculum workshops / leadership training. Easily found online & a great way to see the investment into "teaching teaching"
Education faculty need time, just like research ones do. Unfortunately there is disparity - new research faculty get 50-75% protected time for 3 years to get established, education faculty rarely get this.
#MedEd
T1 I can tell what faculty *don't* need though, is an overloaded and cumbersome PD curriculum that doesn't meet practical needs or increase feelings of institutional support. #meded
T1 #meded Exactly. How are we training faculty to be candidly reflective about themselves? Some places do good work at it but I'm not sure about others...
another area of disparity between education and research faculty. I see so many ed faculty that come and I ask "Who's your mentor in your department?" and they have no answer for the question. Education needs to stop being taken for granted in #MedEd
I find I learn a lot from collaboration with educators outside my own system. Are we encouraging our junior faculty to seek out opportunities to collaborate on projects with mid level faculty which offer an opportunity to learn research skills as part of a team? #MedEd@hur2buzy
T1 Because the backgrounds and interests of faculty can be so diverse, I sometimes think that (after a solid needs analysis) it's also effective to first teach them what they don't know that they don't know. Many faculty will then pursue their own development. #meded
Hi Gary and Larry, I think it has to be a part of the culture! It's ok for a mentor to tell a mentee to take some time and think about it and report back in a week or two. Can't expect reflection to happen in 15 minutes. #MedEd@2LindaMLove@hur2buzy@GLBDallaghan

Totally agree, Kristina, and I have begun to wonder whether we need a large meeting devoted solely to education in north america, like AMEE is in europe. Generalists ok, but does not have the capacity, yet.

Today's reflection;haven't slept all week (kids, not call).Today I edited #hcsm paper, worked digital strategy for #ptsafety non-profit, reviewed pharma TV ad, prep for The Speaking Rx, got asked to lecture at @UNCPharmacy... Life is good!!! #meded#bydesign#creative#scientist
Topic 2: Because #facdev is typically an optional activity for adult learners it is essential that it be 1) high quality, 2) immediately relevant, and 3) provide visible impact. How do you prioritize these 3 objectives? #meded
hook 'em in when they are residents, or better yet, students. Gotta work on the pipelines to our faculty positions. Help them to understand that #meded is about more than "teaching".

Also points to the need for multiple mentors for various needs. I have been mentored by @myheroistrane@GLBDallaghan and @hur2buzy at different points for different reasons. No one mentor can give you all that you need. #MedEd

#meded Also get a commitment from the top that the time is dedicated to the educational mission. And it has to be a real commitment...not just words on a page.

A1 - yes, training is critical to improve teaching skills. But, opportunities to use those skills are equally important. Skills learned once but not used will fade quickly. #meded
I think Junior Faculty are often the most hungry for these things, but they need a system to get plugged in. So you can either create your own system (hard) or work to embed these in the "system" (harder). #meded
another area of disparity between education and research faculty. I see so many ed faculty that come and I ask "Who's your mentor in your department?" and they have no answer for the question. Education needs to stop being taken for granted in #MedEd
Oh yeah... here's a radical idea -- why can't NIH have an "E01" mechanism to fund educational projects, just like they fund "R" type grants, and why can't they have K mechanisms for educators?

Mentoring “seems” well integrated but those grants and awards are competitive & few get them. Those without such grants, esp junior faculty, frequently struggle with lack of appropriate mentorship to build a research portfolio. #meded
It's funny Paul - I wasn't. It took me a while. It has only been within the past few years that I have made an effort to build mentoring relationships with multiple faculty. It has been impactful for me in many ways including improving my confidence in the field of #MedEd.

A1- the “system” had them in residency & fellowship before they became faculty. The ? How does this help me meet my goal? More efficient, new opportunities, P&T advancement? It needs a clear carrot. 😬#MedEd
T2: #meded#facdev is typically an optional activity for adult learners it is essential that it be 1) high quality, 2) immediately relevant, and 3) provide visible impact. Are these the only priorities? #meded
T2 relevant+impact = have 2b high quality. between these: #2, immediately relevant: #meded educators have to get hooked into #facdev, see the value in it right 4rm start, relevance is key to recruiting #faculty into these initiatives & self-investment

“Stopping dramatically during the middle of the student’s presentation he would smile broadly, look around at the team and ask, “So what did the rectal show?” #mededhttps://t.co/pMcoskejIy
Glad to have been able to design the badges for our @MGHSurgery badge backer initiative launched this week. Major kudos to Casey Luckhurst, @SophiaKMcKinley, and our surgery women’s council for all their help in moving this forward!
T2 Of course we need high quality, relevant, impactful #facdev. But we'll never have the resources we need to [re]create and deliver it all ourselves. A needs assessment can target institutional priorities, but incentivising self-directed PD is the only real move. #meded
The downside of another mandatory requirement is that time is not often allocated. No time & more tasks is a recipe for poor engagement & increased burnout. Can we find ways to protect time? #meded
T2 #meded That's the critical question. How can we get leaders to allocate time for physicians to do this? Is #meded that inconsequential to them when these are the future physicians they will be hiring?
To all sitting the EMC/EMD exam today, good luck. You’ve done the hard work, put in the hours. Best wishes and enjoy #emergencymedicine#MedEd@JudkinsSimon
Not mandatory, just "not optional." e.g., if we expect evidence of professional development in the T&P process, we can then provide a range of options, incl consultations & formal curriculum, but also reward whatever other resources they find to meet their needs elsewhere. #meded
we work in medical SCHOOLS, not primary hospitals, not research institutes, SCHOOLS. It's in all of our institution's names. Gotta remind leadership of this: "You can't ignore education and call yourself a school... can't have it both ways. Throw down or get out." #meded
I think this would be great to invest in #meded training BEFORE the first lecture. Use that first one as a training process on how to become an excellent educator so the experiential component is built right in.
T3 #meded As a faculty member I measure the success by whether or not I'm still discussing the session days later. If I walk out of the room and readily forget it, it had no impact.
T3 for #meded as a faculty member by self-reflection and review; i find watching recordings of myself teaching old and new to be helpful to see if program changed my teaching style; ?s: how clear am I in my objectives and how do I foster active learning
T3: I was just in a conversation about this today:
More scholarly approach to education ~ better learning outcomes. Need to evaluate the approach taken by faculty (process) and the learning by students (outcome) in response to the fac dev program (structure)
#meded
T2 Instead fighting so hard for more time (though it is a real need), the path of least resistance is to deliver/facilitate #facdev in tandem with other duties. Fewer hours in workshops and more partnerships, coaching, and empowerment. #meded
The 1st year of #Residency is one of the most amazing experiences that a young doctor will ever have. Unfortunately, it often comes with stress, #Burnout, depressive symptoms, and more. "Welcome to your intern year breakdown" #MedEdhttps://t.co/PHeoScXcTZ
t3: What has been your most memorable (most remembered) faculty development learning? Was it the content? Was it something shocking that was revealed? Was it the wake-up call? Was it reconnecting with a friend? Was it access to an expert? Was it free lunch ?⭐️ #meded
T3 Any program evaluation has to align with the identified needs, but generally, we should be looking at the widening sphere of influence of our #facdev. Is what we're promoting being adopted and passed on? #meded
#MedEd yes and am I thinking about or applying it later. FYI when I go to conferences I make a calendar appointment for after returning to look up impactful ideas and speakers

Mine is watching colleagues teach -- always walk away with ideas.
My belief: we teachers are a guild, and we need to constantly work on our craft, all of our lives. We never stop growing.

T3 - quality retention, if you #facdev program is strong you’ll keep better academics around. Ie/if you’re loosing folks ask “do our development programs work?” #meded
Just found this on Facebook: Harry Potter & the cranial nerves. Hands up if you have just immediately cross-checked against “oh oh oh to touch and feel” and stumbled at VIII? #FOAMed (according to pic, it’s by Howard A Lloyd/Medbridge)
T3 It's also important to remember that not everything that matters can be measured. There should be some mixed methods in our #facdev program evaluations. #meded
Final thought: it is the responsibility of the institution to nurture its faculty educators; it is the responsibility of the educators to commit to a growth mindset in #meded
