2. Objectives • Recognize and develop other “types” of scholarship at your location • Apply six assessment standards common to all types of scholarship • Promote a “village” of scholars at your location Text will be Adobe Caslon Pro: The University name will be: White; The first capital letter of each word will be 18 point bold; The subsequent capital letters will be 16 point bold. The second line of text will be regular italic upper and lower case. The school (if used) will be 16 point regular upper and lower case and will be medium blue: R=88,G=113, B=179 or light blue: R=144, G=157, B=202. White may be used if absolutely necessary to see the text. The shield will be ¾” wide and 1/8” from the left side and 1/8” from the bottom.

3. Historical background: • Teaching focus and public leadership and service • Post-depression, World War II era push for science and technology • Federal grants • Increased graduate training • Split between research and teaching • Late 1990’s- Boyer and Glassick’s new vision For gradient backgrounds Text will be Adobe Caslon Pro: The University name will be: White; The first capital letter of each word will be 18 point bold; The subsequent capital letters will be 16 point bold. The second line of text will be regular italic upper and lower case. The school (if used) will be 16 point regular upper and lower case and will be medium blue: R=88,G=113, B=179 or light blue: R=144, G=157, B=202. White may be used if absolutely necessary to see the text. The shield will be ¾” wide and 1/8” from the left side and 1/8” from the bottom.

4. New Vision • Scholarship of discovery • Scholarship of integration • Scholarship of application • Scholarship of teaching Expanding View of Scholarship, Acad Med. 2000; 75(9):871-876

5. Scholarship of Discovery • “Original research” • Process of inquiry • Development of pertinent questions • Establishing hypothesis to test • Creativity • Collaboration between basic and clinical scientists Text will be Adobe Caslon Pro: The University name will be: White; The first capital letter of each word will be 18 point bold; The subsequent capital letters will be 16 point bold. The second line of text will be regular italic upper and lower case. The school (if used) will be 16 point regular upper and lower case and will be medium blue: R=88,G=113, B=179 or light blue: R=144, G=157, B=202. White may be used if absolutely necessary to see the text. The shield will be ¾” wide and 1/8” from the left side and 1/8” from the bottom.

6. Scholarship of Integration • “to search for connections between discoveries obtained by different approaches or even from varied disciplines.” • “novel insights, both interpretive and interdisciplinary are discovered.” Text will be Adobe Caslon Pro: The University name will be: White; The first capital letter of each word will be 18 point bold; The subsequent capital letters will be 16 point bold. The second line of text will be regular italic upper and lower case. The school (if used) will be 16 point regular upper and lower case and will be medium blue: R=88,G=113, B=179 or light blue: R=144, G=157, B=202. White may be used if absolutely necessary to see the text. The shield will be ¾” wide and 1/8” from the left side and 1/8” from the bottom.

7. Scholarship of Application • “involves building bridges between theory and practice and encompasses the service functions of academics.” • “asks how knowledge can be used in a practical situation.” Expanding View of Scholarship, Acad Med. 2000; 75(9):871-876

8. Scholarship of Teaching • “communicating one’s knowledge effectively to students.” • “Knowledge gained through basic research, by interesting data from different disciplines, or by applying novel techniques is meaningful only when communicated and understood by others.” Expanding View of Scholarship, Acad Med. 2000; 75(9):871-876

9. Evaluation of Scholarship • Clear goals • Adequate preparation • Appropriate methods • Significant results • Effective presentation • Reflective critique Expanding View of Scholarship, Acad Med. 2000; 75(9):871-876

10. Encouraging Scholarshipof Discovery • Eliminate barriers • Institutionalizing scholarship • Clinic is the classroom and laboratory • Conduct research to be “consumed” (Research Plus) • “Sociable research” (i.e., work with someone) • Create partnerships for new opportunities • New publication outlets • Case reports are research with a human face Expanding View of Scholarship, Acad Med. 2000; 75(9):871-876

11. Institutionalizing Scholarship Expanding View of Scholarship, Acad Med. 2000; 75(9):871-876 Coalesce around collaborative research projects and researchers Team based approach Increase the visibility of your scholarship Mentor faculty, residents and students Expectation (OER bullet) of research from faculty and residents. Structured time Rewards (both military and non-military) Faculty appointments Know facility resources
