Rewarding development of teaching skills and educational scholarship.

摘要

Context and setting At our Faculty of Medicine, approximately 60% of faculty identify as clinician-teachers (with roles more centred on clinical care) and 15% represent clinician-educators (with roles more centred on education).Why the idea was necessary Teaching awards reward excellence in teaching and promotion criteria reward achievements in educational scholarship, but our Faculty had few mechanisms in place with which to recognise and encourage faculty members who take steps along those paths.
