Download or read book Academic Promotion for Clinicians written by Anne Walling and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide to the appointment, promotion, and tenure (APT) process for clinical faculty members employed by medical schools. The number of clinical faculty members in US medical schools has increased exponentially in the last two decades. At the same time, faculty career tracks and promotion requirements have changed dramatically and medical schools have introduced multiple non-tenure career tracks. Currently, only about 25% of the approximately 150,000 members of clinical departments. This book provides insights and recommendations on career planning and academic promotion for clinical faculty members. It also addresses much of the “mythology” surrounding the APT process and demonstrates how academic promotion should be used as a career-building process rather than a daunting high-risk event. Topics include concepts and processes within academic promotion; navigating the academic promotion and tenure process; and managing the outcome of the APT application. Academic Promotion for Clinicians is a valuable resource for clinical medicine faculty members as they engage in and successfully handle the challenges in the APT process and thus realize their career goals.

Download or read book Handbook for the Academic Physician written by William C. McGaghie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a bold and useful tool that provides the concepts, principles, and facts needed to build and to strengthen a career in academic medi cine. Developing a high level of competency in academia requires the development of skills in addition to those in one's own specialty or dis cipline. One needs skills for conducting research, meeting administrative responsibilities, and educating students and colleagues. These skills are not bells and whistles. They are the elements of academic life that make the position truly academic. This book provides the critical information needed to succeed in that world. Until now many academicians have learned about elements of their job outside their individual discipline by experience and through the obser vation of role models and mentors. In the complex, highly competitive, rapidly changing world of academic medicine there is no longer time for a prolonged apprenticeship. The institution is endangered when individ uals are selected for critical posts based upon skills in areas that may not be central to the principal responsibilities of the new position. How often one hears: "He is a great scientist but he runs his department with a shoe box mentality." "She is a fantastic clinician, but she runs a committee as if she knows everything. I hate working with her." "How can a full professor be such a lousy teacher?" All of the above are symptoms of the need for special skills.

Addressing that problem, this guidebook also emphasizes careful attention to preserving a healthy work/life balance as clinician educators navigate the demands of their professional and personal lives.

Download or read book Building Schools Making Doctors written by Katherine L. Carroll and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, medical educators intent on transforming American physicians into scientifically trained, elite professionals recognized the value of medical school design for their reform efforts. Between 1893 and 1940, nearly every medical college in the country rebuilt or substantially renovated its facility. In Building Schools, Making Doctors, Katherine Carroll reveals how the schools constructed during this fifty-year period did more than passively house a remodeled system of medical training; they actively participated in defining and promoting an innovative pedagogy, modern science, and the new physician. Interdisciplinary and wide ranging, her study moves architecture from the periphery of medical education to the center, uncovering a network of medical educators, architects, and philanthropists who believed that the educational environment itself shaped how students learned and the type of physicians they became. Carroll offers the first comprehensive study of the science and pedagogy formulated by the buildings, the influence of the schools’ donors and architects, the impact of the structures on the urban landscape and the local community, and the facilities’ privileging of white men within the medical profession during this formative period for physicians and medical schools.

Download or read book Collaborative Clinical Education written by Jane Westberg, PhD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992-11-15 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for those who are now, and those who intend to become, clinical teachers in the health professions. Its primary focus is the teaching of medical students and residents, but the principles discussed apply equally to teaching students in other health professions. The main focus is on the process of teaching--the strategies and tactics involved in helping others learn--and the authors discuss the generic steps, strategies, and principles of effective teaching that apply in any clinical setting. They do, however, draw numerous examples from clinical education in a variety of settings. The authors specifically stress the notion of collaboration, an issue closely related to the public's considerable dissatisfaction with the modern health care system. to create a more effective, responsive system, they argue, there is a need to change the ways that health care is provided and the way it is taught. A collaborative approach is needed in both health care and medical education, one that involves partnerships between clinicians and patients, and between teachers and learners. Also prominent throughout the book is the idea that clinical education can be planned and conducted in far more systematic ways than is now common. An overarching goal of the book is to provide readers with an enlarged set of options to consider using when faced with the inevitable multiciplicity of decisions confronting cllinical educators.
