Today's family medicine educator occupies a position of increasing stature in medical education. The recognition of education as scholarship creates a framework for the evaluation of clinician-educators for promotion. A system is needed to document educational excellence, peer review, and public dissemination.
The Educator's Portfolio, a 10-category system for organizing educational expertise, was developed in a family medicine department for use as a promotion document. The effectiveness of the Educator's Portfolio in documenting faculty candidates' educational activities was assessed in two ways. Members of the department rank and tenure committee were surveyed to assess their ability to evaluate faculty teaching contributions using the portfolio, and faculty promotion results were tracked for the first 2 years of portfolio use at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The ability to judge candidates' educational activities via a portfolio was rated to be excellent or very good by 100% of respondents, as compared with using a traditional curriculum vitae alone. Promotion results indicate successful promotion of faculty using the Educator's Portfolio.
As a method for evaluating scholarship in education, the Educator's Portfolio is an important addition to a candidate's promotion packet.
如今，家庭医学教育工作者在医学教育中的地位日益重要。将教育视为学术成果为评估临床教育工作者的晋升提供了一个框架。需要一个系统来记录教育成就、同行评审和公众传播情况。
教育工作者档案袋是一个用于组织教育专业知识的十类别系统，由一个家庭医学部门开发，用作晋升文件。通过两种方式评估教育工作者档案袋在记录教师候选人教育活动方面的有效性。对该部门职级和任期委员会的成员进行调查，以评估他们使用档案袋评估教师教学贡献的能力，并在威斯康星医学院使用档案袋的头两年跟踪教师晋升结果。
与仅使用传统简历相比，100%的受访者认为通过档案袋判断候选人教育活动的能力为优秀或非常好。晋升结果表明使用教育工作者档案袋成功促进了教师的晋升。
作为评估教育学术成果的一种方法，教育工作者档案袋是候选人晋升材料的重要补充。
