The programs and seminars below are designed specifically for Medical Center faculty through the support of Dahlgren Memorial Library, School of Medicine, the Office of the Dean of Medical Education, and the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS):
The Circular Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Learning
Environment (CIRCLE) grant program is designed to encourage creativity
and reward faculty excellence in medical education. Individual faculty
can apply for grants up to $25,000 ($10,000 for faculty support
and up to $15,000 in direct costs) with an option for one renewal
at $15,000. An investment of nearly $400,000 over several years
enables faculty to pursue innovative educational initiatives using
institutionally funded and protected time. For information about
the CIRCLE Grants Program, contact the following: Clinical Teaching Skills Seminar Series This seminar series for faculty and residents with clinical teaching
responsibilities focuses on pedagogical techniques applicable in
the classroom, clinic, and hospital. Sessions are offered at affiliated
teaching hospitals as well as on the Georgetown campus. For information
about the Clinical Teaching Seminar Series, contact the following: Division of Evaluation and Assessment The Director of Evaluation and Assessment, within the Office of
the Dean of Medical Education, provides consultative services to
various groups and individuals who are interested in program evaluation
and student assessment activities. The director provides instructional
workshops for faculty and staff; survey and focus group advice and
services; program evaluation; planning and implementation for grant
writers and recipients; support for accreditation self-study committees;
data analysis services; and other educational research assistance.
For faculty or staff interested in receiving assistance with evaluation
and assessment, contact the following: Medical Education Grand Rounds The Office of the Dean of Medical Education sponsors a series to bring nationally recognized educators to our campus to describe the latest techniques and challenges related to pedagogy, educational assessment, or curricular issues for faculty, staff, and students involved in the educational mission. The series agenda is driven by the educational strategic plan of the Office of the Dean of Medical Education. The programs focus on a single educational theme followed by a series of seminars and workshops in related practical topics. For example, in past years, the Grand Rounds included evaluation techniques by Dr. Louis Pangaro and Dr. William Ayers, former Vice President of the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). In spring 2002, David Leach, M.D., President of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, addressed Competency-Based Evaluation in Medical Education, and in 2003, Dr. Eugene Corbett, Petersdorf Scholar in Residence at the Association of American Medical Colleges, spoke on teaching clinical skills. With the support of the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS), the Office of the Dean hosted a series of workshops focused on topics such as clinical evaluation, evaluating professionalism, and educational simulations. Attendees at these seminars are eligible for a series of small project-related grants up to $5000 in the areas of educational evaluation.

The Office of Faculty Affairs provides a support system for faculty, residents, and postdoctoral trainees who participate in teaching, research, and clinical activities at the Medical Center. Its goal is to impart a nurturing environment that will allow each faculty member to grow to his or her full potential as a teacher, scholar, and human being. The office facilitates the recruitment, appointment, promotion, and retention of faculty and coordinates resources and opportunities to support their professional and personal development. It sponsors workshops, seminars, orientation sessions, and other efforts to improve the teaching and research environment. A faculty mentoring program will soon be initiated to achieve the acculturation and professional socialization of junior faculty to the School of Medicine's organization and environment. Office of Faculty Affairs Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship The Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) offers resources and pedagogical expertise to all Georgetown campuses in the development of grant-funded projects involving the implementation of new learning environments, learning assessment, technology evaluation, and user testing.
