1. Expand TOP to include simulation<br />
2. Ensuring competency (especially procedural specialties)<br />
3. Training / expertise in simulation (endorsing and organizing)<br />
4. Integrate / educate about resources<br />
5. Practical implementation workshops for simulation<br />
6. Better centralized planning for technology<br />
7. Central repository for educational technology (marketing / making o<strong>the</strong>rs aware)<br />
a. Best practices<br />
b. Listservs<br />
8. Academy meeting at <strong>the</strong> Simulation Center<br />
9. Utilize technology to train in using technology<br />
10. Evaluate how technology can impact efficiency ($)<br />
11. Evaluate <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> varied technology in education<br />
12. Understanding current and future learners<br />
13. Identify common teaching goals (PE) and identify how technology may address <strong>the</strong>m<br />
14. Specific innovations grants (RFP) on educational technology<br />
15. Improved peer communication on technology<br />
Maximizing <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> Academy programs and activities – what should we stop doing or<br />
do entirely differently, and why?<br />
Facilitators: Harry Lampiris and Lee-may Chen<br />
Summary <strong>of</strong> Academy Programs<br />
• GME Teaching Workshop<br />
• Membership<br />
• TIP-TOP<br />
• Partnership with OME – Educators’ Portfolios<br />
• Educational Advocacy and Policy<br />
• Training modules for TOP<br />
• AME outreach slides<br />
• AME teaching expertise<br />
• Innovations Funding<br />
• Communications/website<br />
• Education Day<br />
• Teaching Awards<br />
• Fundraising - philanthropy<br />
Audience should be AME members and Group 2 educators.<br />
Current high pr<strong>of</strong>ile AME activities: TOP, Innovations funding, Education Day<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r activities include TIP, educational advocacy, workshops in collaboration with OME
AME members should be ambassadors to our educational community at UCSF. The Faculty<br />
Development working group is developing a common presentation that may help with this<br />
outreach. Also, a resource list is being developed for <strong>the</strong> educational community to access and<br />
obtain consults and connections with experts in specific content areas <strong>of</strong> teaching/learning.<br />
Stop doing? How much would it hurt to support OME without co-sponsoring events? We would<br />
still <strong>of</strong>fer resources (our members) but potentially require less financial support?<br />
Partnerships and Collaborations: Are <strong>the</strong>re opportunities to leverage our investment in<br />
programs such as TOP and Innovations Funding through thoughtful affiliations, without<br />
blurring or weakening our identity?<br />
Facilitators: Alma Martinez, Calvin Chou<br />
Advertising<br />
Goal <strong>of</strong> advertising is tw<strong>of</strong>old: sends a message and identifies a need. Possible arenas:<br />
Innovations Funding:<br />
• Disseminate findings from grants<br />
TIP/TOP<br />
• Can be scary for subjects <strong>of</strong> TOP: needs to be owned by learners as opposed to <strong>the</strong><br />
program – have programs take ownership <strong>of</strong> TOP process<br />
o peds residency program incorporated TOP: increased quality <strong>of</strong> residents’<br />
o<br />
presentations, slides<br />
could use chief residents – occasional meetings <strong>of</strong> all chief residents toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
can disseminate need / brainstorm uses for TOP for residents<br />
• Maybe "tip" <strong>the</strong> scales in favor <strong>of</strong> TIP and having observation <strong>of</strong> role models teaching and<br />
facilitating?<br />
Help faculty understand <strong>the</strong> promotion process<br />
• Provide specific feedback about faculty's CV, and provide coaching – perhaps a career<br />
planning workshop, at which faculty can be paired with Academy member, with subsequent<br />
follow-up to continue mentoring process (for example, Educator’s Portfolio w/s could be set<br />
up to do this)<br />
• This mentoring process could also be related to TOP<br />
Disseminate innovations that occur in courses, residency programs<br />
• Expand TOP observation to include methodology <strong>of</strong> programs and courses ra<strong>the</strong>r than<br />
individuals: could develop into an “Educators’ Consultant Group”<br />
• Addressing time challenges – watch in real time<br />
Goal <strong>of</strong> advertising is to "grab <strong>the</strong> eyeballs" – potential media:<br />
• Academy screensaver<br />
• Advertise: on <strong>the</strong> shuttles, on Shamzi (Shieva’s dog)<br />
• Departmental magazines and newsletters<br />
• Academy/departmental point people to disseminate<br />
• Synapse<br />
• Social media: blogs, Twitter
