Started from a simple question, “what is active precepting” from Program Requirements. Initially a q/I project, then a national presentation. Strong national interest in topic/lively discussions at RAP/STFM. Everyone wanted the video. Went back to model (revise video, clean up concepts). With revised better quality video, had the start of a product. Added in presentations which included highlights from discussion time from prior presentations. STFM Bookstore, MedEdPORTAL, FMDRL.

27. Summary of Today’s Discussion
Why are we doing this? REVISITED
We care about it
Build upon others’ work, advance field
QUALITY: Better education, better patient care
Get familiar with the various repositories
Examine the work you are already doing for dissemination
Follow pathway of education & scholarship
Excellence, informed, peer reviewed
Mention my 3am L&D experience, suddenly planning for faculty retreat, increased familiarity with sites already has had impact. We should be sharing what we are doing, and also looking at these sites to see what we can use. We already work hard enough, let’s use what is being shared!
