Work groups will meet during last 30 to 45 minutes of our May and June, 2014 monthly meetings. Work Group Questions -- To be answered by the fall, were generated at the March monthly meeting --were refined and focused by the steering committee in? How would faculty access/apply for – dependent on level of engagement? How would we measure return on investment? For modeling purposes, assume we have $50-100K to invest in our members over the academic year.

Membership Work Group 1.What is a simple mechanism for valuing and tracking engagement of members? (i.e. what ‘counts’ regarding the work of the academy? What is the unit of measure for engagement with regard to working on what counts? How to track?) 2.What should be our policy on recruiting new members? (i.e., when should we have our next membership drive? How many times a year? When do we start considering faculty outside the medical school/learners?) 3.What should be the criteria by which funds are made available to members? (i.e. what kind of faculty development activities should the Academy be investing in? How would faculty access/apply for – dependent on level of engagement? How would we measure return on investment? For modeling purposes, assume we have $50-100K to invest in our members over the academic year.

Peer Review/Mentoring Work Group 1.What is a prototype peer review instrument that could be piloted this Fall? 2.What is a process map for piloting the instrument, recruiting participants, and developing an approach to evaluation of the pilot?

Valuing Education Work Group 1.What can we learn from the approaches Departments are taking to notifying their faculty about the distribution of education dollars? (This presumes the data will be provided by the Deans office to the workgroup for review and analysis). 2.How can exemplars be presented to the Academy for deeper understanding and, hopefully, the adoption of best practices in other Departments? (e.g., detailed presentation of 2-4 Departmental approaches, at least one of which is Basic Science).

Monthly Meetings/Faculty Development 1.What would a 10-month seminar program look like for the upcoming year (starting in September) with regard to specific topics Key topics? Research idea presentations from members Informational presentations from units that may be helpful (CRLT, med ed) Great debates (Pro/Con – development of a ‘educator track’) etc. Note: It was acknowledged that a strong, valuable portion of the seminar gatherings is the networking and we must be careful not to overly program to the point that this isn’t as spontaneous as it could be. 2.How can the effectiveness/value proposition of the seminars be measured?

Scholarship 1.What should be the ingredients/mock-up of an Academy Web site with tools that can enable faculty to pursue scholarship in medical education? This would include a repository of the scholarship that is taking place and a ‘dating site’ for those hoping to find partners on ideas or projects. 2.How can we propose a suite of enablers to promote scholarship? What would be the strategic planning process map for the development of a Medical Education Core? 3.How can we advise the membership group regarding the role of a small grants program to promote scholarship among faculty
