Strategic Educators Enhancement Fund (SEEF) Fellowship Program Call for Letters of Intent
To support medical educators who are interested in developing skills in medical education and assessment research, NBME is announcing the second cohort of the Strategic Educators Enhancement Fund (SEEF) Fellowship Program. Supporting the medical education and assessment science communities is the driving force behind our work at NBME. While centered on assessment of physicians, our focus encompasses the spectrum of health professionals along the continuum of education, training and practice and includes research in evaluation as well as development of assessment instruments.
To support our mission and in recognition of our valuable collaboration with medical education, NBME is pleased to announce the second cohort of the Strategic Educators Enhancement Fund (SEEF) Fellowship Program. The primary goal of the Fellowship is to provide an opportunity to medical school faculty who are interested in developing skills in medical education and assessment research, and who have a commitment to working with a team of interested colleagues.
Goals of the Program:
This fellowship is a project-based faculty development program that has been established to:
- Foster professional development
- Promote assessment-focused scholarship about innovative approaches that will enhance the assessment of individuals across the continuum of medical education and in active independent practice
- Support a cohort of individuals who will work with senior mentors and NBME staff to identify and develop questions and a research project that falls within one of the following themes:
-Technology-enhanced Simulation Assessment in Medical Education
- Assessment in Teams
- AI in Medical Education/Assessment
A successful fellowship outcome is a scholarly presentation or publication.
To achieve the Fellowship goals, eight (8) individuals will be selected to form two education and assessment-focused research cohorts that will be led by senior mentors. Each member of the cohort will be expected to make meaningful contributions to the project team.
The Fellowship will train the cohort of faculty to use the rich information content of the NBME; to operate effectively in an educational team; to communicate outcomes to a broad range of audiences; and to work as a community to conceptualize new approaches to assessment. Learning to work in this type of network is challenging and involves skills seldom developed in training.
