爱荷华大学教学学者计划于1999年在爱荷华大学卡佛医学院(CCOM)发起,其总体目标是促进与教学技能相关的教师发展的领导力。该计划的具体目标是:(1)促进教师干部队伍的发展,他们有能力在其部门和CCOM内实施教师发展;(2)加强院系对教师发展工作的参与;(3)增加资源,以推广学院范围内的教师发展工作;-以及(4)认可教师在发展医学教育技能和知识以及为其教员同事提供继续教育方面所付出的额外努力。CCOM的所有临床和基础科学部门都有机会让一名教员参加该计划。与文献中报道的其他项目不同,参与项目的竞争性决策是在部门层面上做出的。这个为期三年的项目结合了每月的会议和其他活动来培训教师,以提供教师教学技能的发展。每个学者开发和实施一个项目,以解决本部门教师发展的需求以及CCOM其他部门的需求。到目前为止(2006年),已有来自19个不同院系的50名教师参加了该项目,平均每班有12名学者。该计划大大增加了院系和学院范围内的教师发展计划,并对个别学者的教学技能和领导作用产生了积极影响。
The University of Iowa Teaching Scholars Program was initiated in 1999 at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine (CCOM) with the overall goal of promoting leadership in faculty development related to teaching skills. Specific goals of this program are (1) to promote the development of a cadre of faculty members who have the skills to implement faculty development within their departments and the CCOM; (2) to increase departmental involvement in faculty development efforts, (3) to increase resources available for dissemination of college-wide faculty development efforts,- and (4) to acknowledge the extra effort faculty put into developing their skills and knowledge in medical education and in providing continuing education to their faculty colleagues.All clinical and basic science departments in the CCOM are given the opportunity to have a faculty member participate in the program. Unlike other programs reported in the literature, competitive decisions for program participation are made at the departmental level. The three-year program combines monthly meetings and other activities to train faculty to provide faculty development in teaching skills. Each scholar develops and implements a project to address departmental faculty development needs as well as needs of other departments in the CCOM. To date (2006), 50 faculty members from 19 different departments have participated in the program with an average of 12 scholars per class. The program has resulted in a substantial increase in departmental and college-wide faculty development programming and has had a positive impact on individual scholars' teaching skills and leadership roles.
