University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine presents:

Educational Enhancement for Academic Physicians Series

Series Overview

Faculty of UT GSM have a track record of producing solid clinicians upon graduation from their programs.  We are now introducing a formal, campus-wide, comprehensive, coordinated curriculum for continued improvement of faculty academic skills.  The course series will consist of a monthly, two hour CME course.

All faculty within the UT GSM, adjunct clinical faculty are welcome.  This series is an excellent way for faculty to meet the faculty development requirements.  Faculty can attend any of the lectures that they feel would benefit them.  The curriculum is divided into three main topics:  Teaching and precepting, research and publications, and academic career advancement.  Each of these main topics is divided into specific educational program plans.

Series Goals

The University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine and the University of Tennessee Medical Center has the goal of increasing national and international recognition as a first-class academic medical institution.  This coordinated and comprehensive faculty development curriculum can help faculty members gain the needed tools to help them participate as major players in reaching this goal. 

At the conclusion of this annual series, the participants should be able to:

• Demonstrate effective techniques for optimally precepting residents in the hospital and clinic settings
• Plan didactic experiences using a variety of teaching approaches, and determine the most effective method for delivering information on a topic
• Devise a research study, and perform the study from literature search, through implementation, to local, national or international presentation, and prepare a research or review manuscript for publication
• Efficiently plan the steps in his or her career path in academia to reach identified goals for leadership and promotion in a timely manner

Faculty who complete all 12 modules within an academic year will receive up to 24 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit hours or 24 hours of CDE-certified credit.  Additionally, they will receive a Certificate of Completion in June 2019.
