Scholarship for the APD Jonathan Davis, Georgetown Manish Garg, Temple Jacob Ufberg, Temple
Written Publications Jacob Ufberg, M.D.
“The Coin of the Realm” • Understand your P&T guidelines, and relative value of types of pubs • Peer-reviewed • Textbooks • Non-peer • Shoot for “high-value” targets • Long-term career • Transferrable “credits”
Work in Parallel • Say “YES” to publication opportunity • Get involved with productive people • Learn the process • Look for “spin-off” opportunity • Don’t poison the well- be on time and do good work • Say “no” as your niche develops
Find Mentorship • Almost impossible to fly solo • Start local and build outward • Department • School • Regional • National • Often more than one, or “graduating” to new mentors
Find Time • Be selfish- “closed door” time • Beware the “time-suck” • High commitment, low yield • Locally valuable, non-transferrable and non-promotable • Learn efficiency and time-management • Think risk/benefit • Talk to your boss
Parlay • Publish what you are already doing • Speaking, education, service • This can be the beginning of a niche • Look for an “angle” • What else can I get out of this? • Put yourself out there • Look for help from mentors, senior faculty with connections
Don’t let opportunity die on the vine Respond promptly Do you best ON TIME EVERY TIME Think ANGLE Taking work/ making work Be BOLD Abstracts MUST become manuscripts Write them together Resubmit quickly ABC – Always Be Closing
Making Yourself Invaluable Manish Garg, M.D.
Core Principles Learn the past, watch the present & CREATE the future Research and understand what is truly valued in your dept/institution Play nice in the sandbox; maximize your sweat equity Share & parlay at multiple levels
Create, Create, Create! Choose a “hot” interest that may be un(der)represented in your department but ESPECIALLY in your institution Ultrasound, simulation and global health
Create, Create, Create! Consider starting an elective, rotation or work-shop in med school, residency, or the hospital EM, global health, disaster medicine Teaching or administration rotation EM procedures workshop for non-EM residencies in the hospital
What Is Truly Valued? Medical Students (first 2 years) desire clinical exposure ED shadowing; Clinical talks Medical Students (3rd & 4th year) desire guidance & mentorship Be a mentor, create teaching opportunities, get involved with EMIG
What Is Truly Valued? Medical School desires clinical teaching and committee administration EKG/ultrasound/ortho/suturing/IV placement/OB workshops Admissions/honor board committees Residents desire interactive didactics, technical competence, scholarship & wellness
What Is Truly Valued? EM Faculty desire a “go to person” EM Chair desires teaching, operational efficiency, ambassador & consistency Show up at conferences/JC/fac. meetings Hospital desires committee administration & cross-pollination GME, P&T, peer review, operations
Play Nice In The Sandbox Remember that despite the time/personality pressures you face in the department or in the medical school, good interpersonal skills and rapport will build your reputation; it takes very little to self-implode
Max Your Sweat Equity Initially say “YES!” with energy and great product As you mature, develop junior faculty by handing off your legacy creation Do the “best bang for your buck” later Remember to stay educationally relevant; evolve as learners morph; and reassess your educational priorities/goals to ensure continued impact/value
Share & Parlay Med school, EM residencies & other residencies in the institution Advance scholarship and opportunities for yourself and your colleagues/learners This will create your unique niche on multiple levels of the dept/institutional arena and make you INVALUABLE to your department and institution!
