#MGH FACULTY DISCOUNT ENDNOTE SOFTWARE HOW TO#
We implemented a workshop utilizing didactics and a small-group case discussion to help students learn how to (1) define educational scholarship and portfolios, (2) recognize the value of educational scholarship, and (3) identify how to get started with educational scholarship. Because medical educators serve as the largest segment of faculty, heightening diverse students’ awareness of opportunities to engage in various educational roles and scholarship may help them consider future academic positions. The growth of medical schools, faculty attrition, and reports of student disinterest in academia all stress the need to cultivate the next generation of academic physicians. The symposium was designed to complement the toolkit by providing an interactive forum for discussion of challenges in scholarly writing and publication. It was also distributed to 200 attendees of the Harvard Medical School Academy Writing for Scholarship Symposium in May 2012.
#MGH FACULTY DISCOUNT ENDNOTE SOFTWARE SERIES#
This toolkit was initially distributed as a hard copy to a small group of participants in the Brigham and Women's Series for Medical Educators and the Brigham and Women's Faculty Mentoring Leadership Program. Throughout this toolkit, we have also provided advice specifically targeted to medical educators. The toolkit goes on to address the basics of publication in a peer-reviewed journal, including choosing the appropriate target journal, establishing a timetable, writing for scientific audiences, and submitting the manuscript. This toolkit explains how to plan a scholarly project and conduct a literature search.
Abstract This resource is a comprehensive toolkit designed to assist junior faculty members in the process of scientific writing and publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
