FELLOWSHIP IN MEDICAL EDUCATION
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
2009 - 2010
Nomination Form (Word DOC)
Background
A survey of medical school deans and faculty published in the Journal of the American Medic improvement.
Design and conduct a program evaluation or basic educational study appropriate for publication in academic journals or presentation at professional meetings.
Fellowship Activities
Although the Fellowship consists of a set of required activities, each Fellow will be able to focus these activities for the purpose of achieving his or her personal education objectives.
- Medical Education Seminars
Two-and-a-half-hour seminars on medical education will be held twice a month from September through June during Year One of the fellowship for the purpose of exploring special topics relevant to the core fellowship objectives. Seminar One focuses primarily on curriculum development and theories of learning. Seminar Two develops skills for educational research and program evaluation.
- Curriculum Development Project
Each fellow develops a curriculum of any size and scale for a designated group of learners. Plans will be presented and critiqued in February.
- Scholarly Project in Education
Each Fellow designs a small scale educational study that is conducted under the supervision of Fellowship staff over the course of Year Two of the fellowship.. Projects might include evaluation of educational interventions, descriptive studies of learning or problem-solving events, or survey research on special populations. It is hoped that these studies would be submitted for presentation or publication after being peer-reviewed by the Fellows and the Faculty in the program. Preliminary results will be presented in Spring of 2009 for completion of the Fellowship.
- Educational Leadership
The Fellows are selected for their role in providing leadership to the educational programs of their departments. During the Fellowship, Fellows will have the opportunity to discuss current and potential educational programs for which they are responsible and to acquire feedback on curriculum development and teaching skills from Faculty Mentors. Each Fellow will be required to present a conference or seminar on education to his or her department.
