Abstract

Abstract: Scholarship, required for academic advancement, has traditionally been defined narrowly, not keeping pace with the expansion of faculty academic activities in health professions schools. How can we refine the definition of scholarship so that it better aligns with the scope of current faculty practice within academic health systems? Revision of the academic policies for promotion and tenure at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School afforded an opportunity to redefine scholarship such that a broader platform was available for faculty recognition, aligning with current academic standards, yet providing flexibility for the future. The authors describe the historical context of the definition of scholarship and their institution's process to construct a definition of scholarship with three essential elements: advancement of knowledge, dissemination for critical review, and impact on a discipline, practice, or community. Application of this definition to team science and digital scholarship is also described. Following a widespread continuing education initiative, implementation of the new definition within promotion and tenure processes of the medical, nursing, and graduate schools resulted in broad acceptance across the institution. This forum article provides lessons in leading an academic health sciences institution to reassess academic processes and is a resource for advancing the vigorous debate on the evolving meaning and evaluation of scholarship.

定义奖学金的今天和明天。
摘要:传统上,学术进步所需要的奖学金被狭义地定义,跟不上卫生专业学校教师学术活动的扩展。我们如何才能完善奖学金的定义,使其更好地与学术卫生系统中当前教师实践的范围保持一致?麻省大学陈医学院的学术政策的修订为重新定义奖学金提供了一个机会,这样就为教师的认可提供了一个更广泛的平台,与当前的学术标准保持一致,但为未来提供了灵活性。作者描述了奖学金定义的历史背景和他们的机构构建奖学金定义的过程,其中包含三个基本要素:知识的进步,批判性审查的传播以及对学科,实践或社区的影响。本文还描述了这一定义在团队科学和数字学术中的应用。在广泛的继续教育倡议之后,在医学、护理和研究生院的晋升和终身职位过程中实施了新的定义,结果在整个机构中得到了广泛的接受。这篇论坛文章提供了引导学术卫生科学机构重新评估学术进程的经验教训,并为推动关于不断发展的学术意义和评估的激烈辩论提供了资源。
