Peer Review of Education Research: Be the Reviewer You Want to See
November 2nd from 12:00-2:00 PM ET
| |
Peer review is an opportunity for early career researchers to provide a meaningful contribution to the research community and gain valuable experience to help improve their research and writing. Education research seeks to explore and explain pieces of a complex system of interactions between factors in the teaching and learning process and the organizations that support it. Additionally, educational outcomes must be evaluated to seek continuous improvement in the teaching and learning process. As mixed methods research gains popularity in health sciences education research, the peer review process can present unique challenges. The purpose of this webinar is to provide novice and experienced peer reviewers with the structure for evaluating educational research and providing meaningful feedback to authors, editorial board members, and editors. Participants will learn how to conduct peer review efficiently and leverage the peer review process to advance their own research. Additionally, participants will gain insight into how to promote equity and social justice through the peer review process. | |

Utilizing A Brief Training Module to Orient First Time
Clinical Instructors to Clinical Expectations
November 2nd from 7:00-8:00 PM ET
Through discussion during Clinical Education Special Interest Group (PTA CE SIG) meetings, it was apparent that clinical instructors (CIs) serve as an extension of the academic faculty and that there is a lack of formally trained CIs. Studies have shown that there is not only a need for early and ongoing communication between academic faculty and CIs, but also a need for some training to guide novice CIs through the clinical expectations and processes. Authors have discussed that not all Credentialed Clinical Instructor Program (CCIP) components are needed to meet the needs of today’s CI. The dilemma is that CIs are expected to have minimum requirements and the CCIP program is voluntary, not mandatory. In order to close this gap between CI training and novice CI expectations, we developed a brief training module to guide novice CIs in the processes of orientation, feedback, student/site visit expectations, assessment tool use and grading, and the importance of unique exposures during the clinical experiences. Implementation of this training module is in its early stages. We intend to develop a future survey of CIs that will help to clarify and determine the usefulness and any modifications that may be needed to the training module.

At the conclusion, presenters will provide guidelines for selection and examples of didactic content that may be effectively taught via team-based learning.

The Admissions Network was recently created within the Academic Faculty SIG with the purpose of fostering discussion topics related to recruitment and holistic admissions in PT and PTA education. There will be an opportunity to network, share research and case studies, ask pertinent questions, and disseminate resources.
Mark your calendars! The next virtual event will be Wednesday, November 8th at 7pm EST. Based on survey responses from the first session there was an overwhelming desire to talk about recruitment, so the next session will feature some brief announcements followed by an open discussion about recruitment.
