Mission:

Our mission is to develop fellows who are both knowledgeable in the essential areas of medical education and who are ready to improve medical education within Emergency Medicine.

The program includes focus on the following areas: design and administration of educational programs (graduate and undergraduate medical education programs), curriculum development, effective skill in feedback, mentorship, and learner assessment, as well as development as a skilled educator across various settings.

Duration:

1-2 years (2 year fellows complete MEHP degree)

Advanced degrees/other education:

Fellows can apply for the Masters in Education for the Health Professions at Johns Hopkins School of Education. They can also apply to the ACEP Teaching Fellowship or take courses through the Johns Hopkins Faculty Development Office.

General Goals:

The Education Fellowship is designed to address the following core objectives:

1. Fellows will work under the direction of a program leader to learn the essential components of both residency and undergraduate medical administration. This will include regulatory guidelines, certification maintenance, as well as programmatic structural requirements.

2. Fellows will develop skill in curricular development, learning how to perform a needs assessment, as well as research, design, and implement a curricular advance into an educational program in the department. (UME, GME, APP, Faculty)

3. Fellows will develop an understanding of both programmatic (i.e. curricula above) and individual assessment (learner) and will participate in feedback sessions to learners engaged in their role as an "Acting Assistant Program Director."

4. Fellows will develop leadership skill to function an educational leader in the departmental program in which they are participating.

5. Fellows will develop a diverse set of skills as an educator through the development of educational materials that can will delivered across varied settings. (i.e. Large group didactic, small group case discussion, simulation)

Other Possible Areas for Focused Goals:

1. Simulation

Fellows will work under the direction of Drs. Julie Rice or Jules Jung to learn the essential components required to integrate simulation into medical education curricula.

1. Fellows will develop an understanding of the usefulness of simulation and how it is best used as an educational tool.

2. Fellows will practice using simulation as a form of evaluation to assess fellow performance in the core competency areas.

3. Fellows will assist in running 5 simulation cases under the supervision of a simulation expert

4. Fellows will research, design and implement a curriculum into a part of the fellow or medical student curriculum

2. Evidence Based Medical Education

Fellows will work under the director of Drs. Tony Busti (adjunct faculty), Linda Regan, and/or Jeremiah Hinson to learn the essential components of EBM as well as evidence based medical education (EBME) as well as how to integrate EBME into their clinical practice.

1. Fellows will develop an understanding of what EMBE is and how it differs from EBM, as well as an understanding of what an evidence based practitioner looks like

2. Fellows will develop an understanding of the principles of critical appraisal of the literature

3. Fellows will develop the ability to successfully utilize the 5As of EBM to answer a single clinical question

Fellow Assessment:

Fellows will be assessed across all of the domains above. The fellow and the fellowship director will create goals for the fellow to work towards over the duration of the fellowship. Fellows will be assessed on metrics determined at the beginning of the fellowship. The fellow will be evaluated in the standard way faculty educators in the department are currently evaluated (e.g. clinical educator evaluations in New Innovations, conference evaluations). The fellow will receive quarterly feedback on their progress towards meeting their goals.
