With spring in the air, thoughts of new blossoms and new possibilities fill us with hope. In OMERAD, spring also means that we are ready to announce new members of our OMERAD faculty. With new faculty, we can extend and enhance the support we provide for CHM faculty community-wide. On behalf of the OMERAD office I am pleased to announce the hire of three new faculty:
Dr. Chi Chang, a 2016 graduate from the MSU College of Education's Measurement and Quantitative Methods program and a graduate of CHM's Biostatistics program, is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico. Dr. Chang will join the OMERAD team as an Assistant Professor of Measurement in January 2018. Dr. Chang has a significant publication record and grant activities and is a fantastic promising young scholar. In addition to establishing her own line of research, Dr. Chang will work with the Assessment office to support analysis of performance data in the SDC, and will lead an inquiry group for faculty interested in publishing related to assessment data findings.
Dr. Binbin Zheng earned her Ph.D. in Language, Literacy and Technology from the University of California, Irvine in 2013. She has been a faculty member since that time in the Department of Educational Psychology at MSU. Dr. Zheng will join the OMERAD team as an Assistant Professor of Teaching and Learning in August 2017. Dr. Zheng has an impressive publication record and has already received awards for her scholarship.

Spotlight: Clinician Educator Mentoring Program Scholarship Conference
|
|
The Office of Faculty Affairs and Development and Office of Medical Education Research and Development at Michigan State University, College of Human Medicine (MSU-CHM) offer a state-wide Clinician Educator Mentoring Program for clinician faculty who hold a "non-prefix" assistant professor rank in the health programs, fixed term or clinical/adjunct appointment systems with MSU-CHM. The program runs from January 2016 to May 2017.
The Clinician Educator Mentor Program (CEMP) is designed to prepare these MSU-CHM faculty for long-term success in their educational and scholarly roles. The program includes mentoring, a structured curriculum, and a scholarly project. The goals of the CEMP:
- To learn personal and professional perspectives through peer mentoring in groups facilitated by successful clinician educator faculty members
- To provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be successful in their faculty roles
- To design, conduct, and present a scholarly project of the caliber expected by peer-reviewed outlets
As this year's cohort wraps up, we invite you to attend the first Medical Education Scholarship Conference, highlighting the scholarly projects of faculty who have participated in the Clinician Educator Mentoring Program (CEMP) over the past year. The conference is scheduled for Friday, May 19, 2017 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Radiology Building Auditorium in East Lansing, with video-conferencing to our community campuses. Video-conferencing information will be sent out once registration is received.
Conference program details:
8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Keynote Presentation:
Good Enough Excellence
Linda Speer, MD, Professor and Chair, Department of Family Medicine, University of Toledo.
Academic physicians tend to be high achievers who push themselves very hard. This session will address issues such as career advancement, the importance of mentoring and work-life balance. She will challenge participants to think about how much achievement is good enough, the trade-offs when faculty begin pushing the limits, and at what point does the effort reach a limit of diminishing return.
9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Faculty Development: International Medical Education Conferences
|
Medical Education conferences are nice venues to present scholarly work, to meet people in your field, to learn about the new developments globally and locally, and to seek collaborators. The number of medical education conferences are
numerous. They all have different characteristics and they share similarities. In this piece I would like to highlight two different international conferences: 1) the
Association of Medical Education in Europe conference (AMEE), and 2) the
Ottawa conference.
The AMEE conference is held each year in Europe with around 3,200 participants attending. This conference focuses on medical education as a whole, on Continuing Medical Education, Graduate Medical Education, Undergraduate Medical Education, but also on faculty development, professionalism, promotion and tenure, et cetera. It is somewhat comparable with the AAMC annual meeting. But the main difference is that you will learn a lot about what happens internationally, and which news developments will be seen at the international level.
The disadvantage of this conference is that it can be overwhelming because there are so many interesting sessions one can choose from of those listed in the
abstract book. Adequate preparation as a participant is required. Because it is not focused on a specific area, sometimes the sessions can be a little bit shallow were some good in-depth discourse is missed.
When you are new in the field of medical education and you want to present some work, AMEE is a good place to start, especially when you have a poster. The environment is very warm and welcoming, and as a new presenter you get a fair chance that your poster is accepted. It is also a good place to start when you want to have an overview of what research and developments are important in the medical education field. It is also a good venue to meet the experts, because most are present. The audience is a nice mixture of social scientists and medical doctors, administrative people, residents and medical students.
The Ottawa Conference is named after the first place where it was held in 1985:
Ottawa, Canada. The conference is held every other year and it is attended by approximately 1,200 attendees. The conference is planned for March 2018 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. In contrast to the AMEE, the Ottawa conference focuses always on the theme of assessment and evaluation. When abstracts don't fit in this theme, they will not be accepted.
The advantage of the Ottawa Conference is that it is easier to get to meet the other conference participants. Because the session is focused on the evaluation and assessment theme, the quality of the contributions are high. It is easy to become engaged and have good in-depth discussions related to the conference theme. This conference gives a good opportunity to meet the experts in the area of assessment.
