自欧内斯特·博耶（Ernest Boyer）1990年的里程碑式的报告《重新考虑奖学金：教授的优先事项》以来，包括学术医学在内的高等教育领导者一直倡导教师以新的和创造性的方式与社区合作，运用他们的专业知识。这种社区参与可以采取多种形式，包括以社区为基础的教学，研究，临床护理和服务。然而，在这一想法的修辞与卫生专业学校的晋升和终身教职实际工作方式之间仍然存在差距。凯洛格基金会在为全国卫生专业学校的社区参与教师创造一个更具支持性的文化和奖励制度方面发挥领导作用。作者准备了这篇文章，为委员会的审议提供信息，并激发卫生专业教育工作者之间的讨论。作者定义的工作，教师从事与社区，考虑是否所有的工作，教师在社区为基础的设置实际上是奖学金，并提出了一个框架，记录和评估社区参与的奖学金，促进和终身教职的决定。最后，他们提出了改变学术健康中心和健康专业学校的建议。
Since Ernest Boyer's landmark 1990 report, Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, leaders in higher education, including academic medicine, have advocated that faculty members apply their expertise in new and creative ways in partnership with communities. Such community engagement can take many forms, including community-based teaching, research, clinical care, and service. There continues to be a gap, however, between the rhetoric of this idea and the reality of how promotion and tenure actually work in health professions schools.The Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health Professions was established in October 2003 with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to take a leadership role in creating a more supportive culture and reward system for community-engaged faculty in the nation's health professions schools. The authors prepared this article to inform the commission's deliberations and to stimulate discussion among educators in the health professions. The authors define the work that faculty engage in with communities, consider whether all work by faculty in community-based settings is actually scholarship, and propose a framework for documenting and assessing community-engaged scholarship for promotion and tenure decisions. They conclude with recommendations for change in academic health centers and health professions schools.
