CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP


The Academy at Harvard Medical School is soliciting applications for membership. Over the past nine months, the Academy has redefined its mission as follows:

The Academy is established to advance the education of physicians and scientists throughout the Harvard Medical School community by:

  • Creating and supporting a community of leaders in education and a culture of excellence in teaching and learning.

  • Fostering the careers of educators in medicine and science.

  • Providing programming to improve the skills of teachers.

  • Stimulating and supporting the creation and implementation of innovative approaches to learning and assessment.

  • Supporting educational research and scholarship in medical and graduate education.



In addition to sustaining and building upon the work of the Center for Teaching and Learning, the professional development arm of The Academy, we will now be working more closely with the Graduate programs, the Program in Medical Education at HMS, and with the evolving educational centers at many of our hospitals. Among our goals, we hope to support innovation in pedagogical methods and curriculum, and promote research that focuses on teaching, learning, and assessment at the undergraduate and graduate medical education levels and in the science education of our graduate students.

Attached are a document that outlines membership criteria and responsibilities, and an application form, which must be submitted along with a letter of interest (which is described in the attachment) and a letter of support from your department chair. Membership terms are for two years and are renewable. All faculty members who have held positions in the Academy in the past must reapply now.

Application materials are due Friday, November 20, 2009.
