KlappentextAcademic medical centers continue to require evidence of scholarly activity for their faculty to maintain their appointment and to advance in promotion/rank. For some, training to know how to obtain evidence of scholarship was obtained through fellowship where information was passed from mentor to mentee in an apprenticeship fashion without a formalized text to follow to obtain the information. In fellowship, information might flow through word-of-mouth or articles handed down out to a mentee. Others in fellowship develop skills by taking classes as part of an additional master´s degree program such as a Master of Public Health.For health professionals who enter an academic institution without having gone through a fellowship program, they are still expected to perform scholarly activity but don´t have the benefit of having done the apprenticeship to learn the skills, so unless they decide to find a course, obtain a master´s degree, or find a fellowship, they have no way to gain the necessary skills and are at risk of losing their appointment and have no hope of progressing in promotion.This text provides a comprehensive toolbox for the academic who needs these skills to survive. It serves as a valuable resource for health professionals - physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, and allied professionals - as well as scientists, and students, with the steps necessary to take their educational endeavors from idea to implementation through dissemination. Beginning with the concept of What is Scholarship , the authors walk the reader through the concepts of how to find your niche, look through the literature to check for a gap, design a question, consider evaluation and outcomes, be aware of ethical considerations, plan a project, look for support, find mentorship, prepare an abstract, present a poster, disseminate a project, and lead a team. All chapters are written by experts in the subject matter.
