Fruits of the Professional Educator Appreciation and Recognition (PEAR) Awards: Learning what Students Value in Their Medical Educators.
Purpose: The Professional Educator Appreciation and Recognition (PEAR) awards program was created by students at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in 2020 to recognize exemplary educators. We reviewed our 3-year experience of this initiative to identify characteristics of award-winning educators, and to assess the award's impact.
Materials and methods: We reviewed the title, department, and clinical affiliation of award winners. Using ChatGPT, we qualitatively analyzed de-identified nomination narratives to identify themes of educator characteristics most valued by students. Following refinement by the study team, each award was then assigned one or more themes. Unsolicited thank-you emails were reviewed to consider the impact of the award upon recipients.
Results: Of 202 award recipients, most were near-peers (two-thirds were assistant professors or residents). Winners were affiliated with diverse departments and disciplines. Students most valued outstanding teaching skills (36.6%), showing support by being kind, encouraging, or approachable (26.7%), and investing time in trainees via constructive feedback (26.7%). Unsolicited thank-you emails from 20% of recipients conveyed the meaning of the award for the winning educators.
Conclusions: A review of the BCM PEAR award program identified educator characteristics most valued by students, providing targets for professional development. This low-cost, high-impact initiative may enhance educator wellness and motivate professional behaviors.
