| [JOINT] Curriculum Innovation and Development–From Education to Research | ||||||||
Sponsored by: ADEA | ||||||||
| Description: Faculty members whose major commitment is to teaching in dental or allied dental education programs often struggle with finding time to generate the scholarly work necessary to achieve academic promotion. Strategies that link teaching activities to scholarly work can help resolve this problem. The objectives of this faculty workshop are to demonstrate how implementation of a new program for a dental curriculum (a Standardized Patient Instructor program designed to teach communication and clinical skills) not only met a pedagogical need but also generated opportunities for faculty scholarship; present tools and discuss strategies that can be used to link teaching activities to scholarly work; and assist participants in identifying ways they can use these tools and strategies to create scholarly work from their current teaching responsibilities. Lessons learned from the development and implementation of the SPI program and other courses at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry will be used to illustrate how opportunities for scholarship can be built into the course design/development/revision process so that improved teaching and learning can be regularly coupled with data generation for scholarly work. Small group, participatory, and interactive formats will be used to guide participants in modifying a course they now teach or plan to teach to improve its potential for generating scholarly work | ||||||||
