    • MedEdPORTAL Module Guides Evaluation of Faculty Fellowship

      Richardson, D; Villarosa, M; Palladino, Christie; Thomas, Andria M.; Education Discovery Institute; Medical College of Georiga; Georgia Health Sciences University (Georgia Health Sciences University, 2011)
      Professional development of faculty is critical to the future of health sciences education. The Education Discovery Institute (EDI) at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) developed a year-long Educational Research Fellowship designed to nurture faculty career progression by providing training in health sciences education research and fostering career development. As we developed the program, we realized the need for a careful evaluation plan.
    • How the Quantity of Patient Interactions During Third-Year Cherkships Affects Medical Student Performance

      Elam, Rachel; Thomas, Andria M.; London, J; Education Discovery Institute; Medical College of Georgia; Georgia Health Sciences University (Georgia Health Sciences University, 2011)
      To conduct an exploratory analysis of the relationship between quantity of patient interactions during core third-year clerkships and performance on both national objective tests and faculty evaluations of junior medical students at GHSU’s Medical College of Georgia between academic year 2007 and 2011.
    • The Development of an Education Discovery Institute (EDI) to Advance Awareness and Expertise in Health Sciences Education Research

      Stepleman, Lara M.; Thomas, Andria M.; Fincher, Ruth-Marie; Medical College of Georgia; Education Discovery Institute (Georgia Health Sciences University, 2011)
      A team of educators and educational researchers was charged with developing an EDI to parallel the institution’s translational science discovery institutes. The EDI consists of a Center of Research in Education (CORE) and a Center of Teaching Excellence (COTE).
