2. MedEdPortal
Repository of educational tools (mostly curricula) housed by the AAMC
Peer-reviewed
If accepted, it is considered a “publication” with an official “citation” format
Search many different ways (author, keyword, discipline, by learner type)

3. Why Would You Use It? Find resources for medical education
Written curricula
Web-based curricula
Videos
Picture tutorials
Communication Skills
It is not MedPeds-specific

4. Why it is good for the submitters
You get “published”
People access the site and see your name
You can now gain access to the list of everyone who has viewed your submission on the site (good for promotion and tenure)
This is new!
MedEdPortal actually sends a letter to the Dean of the medical school stating which faculty have products on its site (cc to you)

5. What I learned
Know basics of curricular format before sending in (e.g., needs assessment, goals and objectives, evaluative method, etc.)
Peer-review is hard: reviewers are picky
This only makes your final product better
Listen to the feedback provided and adjust accordingly
Follow the rules for submission: lots of questions
You get s from people asking more about your “product”
