Tuesday, April 8, 2008 8:30 a.m. to Noon | Waterfront Activity Center Although the Teachers Portfolio is an important document in the promotion process for clinician educators, there is little guidance available for clinician educators regarding the content or the preparation of the portfolio. The purpose of our workshop is to address this problem and to develop a framework which clinician educators can use to enhance the usefulness of their teaching portfolios in the promotions process. We will discuss the current state of practice and knowledge about the teaching portfolio within the School of Medicine at the University of Washington. Participants will leave with a portfolio template and enhanced skills in composing and assembling this important part of merit documentation and faculty promotion. Read more .

Participants in this workshop will learn 1) how to fit testing to the goals and objectives of the class, 2) methods for constructing good multiple choice test items, and 3) how to avoid providing inadvertent cues that enable students to rely on test-taking skills rather than on medical problem-solving abilities.
