Scholarship in Medical Education Award

This award brings greater attention to the many types of original work that SGIM members have performed to improve medical education on a national level.

    This award is intended to promote several types of scholarship in medical education. Scholarship has historically been judged by publication of original research; for this award additional evidence of scholarship might include books, chapters, review articles, grant funding in education, teaching videos, computer or internet-based materials, popular writing, and/or oral presentations.

    Categories of scholarship include:

    1. Scholarship of integration (e.g., synthesis and analysis of a body of knowledge)
    2. Scholarship in educational methods and teaching (e.g., descriptions of new educational programs, educational methods, patient education programs)
    3. Scholarship in career development of clinician educators

    Who Should be Nominated?

    • Associate and full members of SGIM may be nominated
    • Early and mid-career members are eligible (assistant, and associate professor)
    • Will be judged by the quality, originality, breadth, and impact of their work
