3. Scholarship-Glassick’s Criteria Clear Goals Adequate Preparation Appropriate Methods Significant Results Effective Presentation Reflective Critique Glassick et al.Scholarship Assessed—Evaluation of the Professoriate. San Francisco. CA: Jossey-Bass. 1997

5. Scholarship at BU Clinician Scholar/Educator –Focus and identity in educational scholarship –New or revised courses/curricula: syllabi, admin –Innovative teaching materials/strategies: eg video, web-based modules, simulation, etc –Educational research projects-disseminated –Clinical practice applications: written reports of organizational innovations; pt ed materials; clinical reviews and reports; editorials; book chapters; dissemination –(PUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR CV!)

6. Scholarship at BU Clinician Scientist –Clinical and educational activities PLUS focused basic science, health services, or clinical research –General goals as scientist track, although scholarly activities similar to those listed for clinical scholars can also be taken into account for promotion.

7. Scholarship at BU Basic Scientist –Scientific investigation –Developing well-focused area and identity –Publication in peer-reviewed journals –Acquisition of extramural funding: fed/pvt –Building a research team –Training others at pre- and post-doctoral level –Participation in intra-departmental research

8. How to Make it Count x 4 Use what you are already doing: teaching, curriculum development, HSR (IRB?) Present abstract or poster descriptively: institutionally, locally, regionally, nationally Evaluate-the double helix Present abstract or poster complete: institutionally, locally, regionally, nationally Write about it: publish Show that others are using it: citations, adoption

17. Getting to “Yes”;Getting to “No” What’s your goal? Effort Impact Visibility Promotion Say no to things that really are not going to foster your agenda (e.g. some committees) Say yes to things that increase your visibility or you like to do (e.g. moderate a meeting) If you say “no” too many times to high visibility things or your chief, folks will give up--BEWARE Can’t get away with doing nothing; unless it’s not important to you

20. Exercise Identify something you are doing now Low hanging fruit/ something you are interested in/someone asked you to collaborate How can you bring it to the next level: moderate a symposium; write a systematic review; are you doing something for a course? Poster for Med Ed Day, Evans Day, national meeting Partners should be outside your institution Clinical vignette (really easy) Etc, etc, etc.

21. Who do you need to help you? Local or national colleague Local or national mentor/friend Which venue What kind of support Keep it simple. Work in the lower left quadrant if you can Think of challenges and how to overcome Timeline—you may have to work at night
