Synergizing Roles in Medical Education: Enhancing Scholarly Engagement between Program Directors and Administrators

As the program administrator's role continues to evolve, one potential skill set is the production of scholarly activity. In the process of creating scholarly activity, it is important to evaluate the resources available, including support throughout the process. Many program administrators feel that only physicians, scientists, or learners are privy to this opportunity; however, with the support of other program leaders, program administrators can collaborate to produce posters, workshops, publications, and more. This workshop aims to continue the education on how a program administrator and other program leaders (i.e., program directors) translate an idea into scholarly activity. Participants will be educated on interpersonal-intrapersonal skills, identifying opportunities, and recognizing what incentives/recognition looks like in this process.
