As our Academy of Medical Educators grows and UCSF’s education community finds their responsibilities and time commitments expanding, the Center for Faculty Educators’ annual UCSF Education Showcase continues to provide opportunities for interactions around current educational scholarship, interprofessional development in education, mentoring in education, and educational networking opportunities. The Showcase’s impact on promoting educational scholarship, research, and community sends a strong message about the important work being done by UCSF’s Educators and Education Scientists through their collaborations with UCSF students, residents, fellows, and non-UCSF colleagues in the US and abroad. Every year participants share how amazing it is to see the collaborative work between students, faculty, and staff.
There were many great presentations and collaborations, so it’s hard to narrow down to a few examples, but these takeaways were among the many that touched upon the current issues addressed through our education and healthcare mission at UCSF. The Education Showcase provided attendees a great opportunity to provide feedback to works in progress, discuss their current projects or work, and meet with CFE faculty on education or educational scholarship topics of interest.
