Accomplishments in 2007
Happy Holidays!
As we bring another year to a close, it is important to reflect on our accomplishments. We have generated new research ideas, provided constructive, collegial feedback, and presented papers and workshops at professional meetings, including the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Evaluation Association. We have invited speakers, including the editor of MedEdPortal. Many of us have published our work in various journals and books during the year and have plans to continue our scholarly efforts into the next year.

Guest Presenter James Priest: A Study of Rounds
As presented by James Priest (left), the focus of this week's session was on a study of rounds. The study will be conducted at Stanford and the University of Washington.
James presented a clear picture of his planned study. Medical education research and evaluation members provided a useful critique.
Neil Gesundheit (right) helped identify critical variables to consider. Clarence recommended a formula for analyzing the data.

AAMC Presentation
Neil, Jen, and David presented their mini-workshop for the Association of American Medical Colleges' presentation. It is titled, Empowerment Evaluation: A Collaborative Model for Evaluating Medical School Curriculum and Enaging Accreditation Standards.
The opportunity to practice this workshop was invaluable. The group provided useful advice, ranging from trimming down the student comments in the package to adding more detail about the "limbs on the evaluation tree."

International Speaker
Maria, from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, spoke today.
The focus of her talk was on the accuracy of student self-assessment. The findings were powerful (almost statistically significant after running a two-tailed T test).

Dr. Clarence Braddock, Associate Dean of Medical Education (right), welcomed our guest and set the presentation's tone.
09:37 AM, September 18, 2007
MedEdPORTAL
Dr. Chris Candler, the editor of the AAMC's online journal, will be speaking in the School of Medicine on September 21, 2007. The topic will be: "What is Education Scholarship and How Should it Be Evaluated?"
This presentation conforms to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement on Teaching's commitment to scholarship on teaching. According to the Foundation: “The scholarship of teaching must not be confused with ongoing study of one's discipline, which is expected of all faculty. This specialized scholarship, which only some faculty will pursue, involves sustained inquiry into teaching practices and students' learning in ways that allow other educators to build on one's findings. Scholarship of teaching is directed toward other teachers, in one's field and beyond.”
11:39 PM, September 12, 2007
MedEdPORTAL Submissions
Dr. Nevins requested feedback on his plans to submit a series of MedEdPORTAL submissions at our September 6, 2007 research and evaluation meeting. He provided an LCD presentation concerning his planned submissions. In the process, his presentation became transformed into a group review and critique. It was engaging and productive.
Many of the group's recommended changes were made on screen in front of the group. It was quite empowering because the recommended changes were made in real time and in front of the group.
03:24 PM, September 08, 2007
Mock Presentations
The next couple of months are booked up with practice sessions, in preparation for our professional association meeting presentations. Two of the more pressing deadlines are for the AAMC and AEA in November.
