Transcript The 2015 ADCFP Program Guide

The 2015 Academic Dental Careers Fellowship Program
(ADCFP)
Liaison/Faculty Guide
What is the ADCFP?
Fellowship Program that began in 2006
by a startup grant from the ADA Foundation.
Connecting a dental student (or Fellow) with a faculty mentor to
provide the student insight to the day-to-day life of a faculty
educator or researcher.
Administered and supported by
ADEA & AAL
The New ADCFP 2015
Focused on Leadership & Faculty Development.
More student and faculty engagement.
Create a nucleus of faculty and students that over time will improve the
institutional climate for pursuing an academic career.
Reframing the issue away from “faculty shortage” and towards perceiving
academia as a viable career option.
Program Objectives
For Students (FELLOWS)
•
Provide students the opportunity to explore career pathways within academic
dentistry.
•
Endue students with professional training specific to teaching and research.
•
Expand the peer and professional networks of students and enhance engagement
with their faculty.
For Faculty/Institutions (MENTORS)
•
Improve institutions’ capacity to broaden their pipeline of students interested in
academic dentistry and research.
•
Enhance faculty members’ ability to implement and foster a culture of teaching and
research excellence at their institution.
•
Provide specific professional training to faculty members with regards to mentoring
and leadership.
The ADCFP Liaison
Role
• Act as the “point person” to ADEA/AAL for program participants at institution.
• Serve as ambassador of the program objectives to institutional members.
• Not a manager of the faculty—student mentorships.
Each institution must identify a Liaison or Liaison Team by February 6,
2015.
Please email Dr. Anthony Palatta with your Liaison (s) name(s) to:
[email protected]
The ADCFP Liaison
Responsibilities

programming that would be beneficial.
The Faculty Mentor

• Meet with Fellow bimonthly: in person (preferably) or virtually.
• Provide Fellow mentorship and logistical assistance with teaching/ research
projects.

The Faculty Mentor
We recommend that faculty mentors are:
•
At institution at least one day per week and have time, at minimum, every other
week, to meet with student.
•
Teaching a lecture-based didactic or clinical course,
or
Conducting clinical, educational or biomedical research.
•
Early Bird Registration
for
ADEA Annual Session– Friday, January 30, 2015
The Student Fellow
• ADCFP activity is from April-December. Student works on Final Project from
January until the March ADEA Annual Session.
• D1-D4 students in dentistry, allied health, and postgraduate programs who
are interested in learning about alternative careers in dentistry such as
teaching or research.
• Student should identify their research interest in either a Teaching Track
(Educational/Clinical Research) or Biomedical/Basic Science Research
Track.
• Each institution can create their own application or utilize the 2014
application.
• Application can be informative or competitive.
Pairing Mentors and Fellows
Faculty who are recruited have the option to either identify a
specific student they desire to mentor or be paired with an
interested student who does not have a mentor.
Similar process for students: students who are interested in the
ADCFP have the option to either identify a specific faculty
they desire to be mentored by or be paired with
a faculty who did not identify a specific student to mentor
during the recruitment phase.
2015 ADCFP Fellow Guide
The following program components have been used in past
programming.
Each Fellow and faculty mentor pair can design their own unique
experience utilizing the following program components, choose
some components, or design their own projects.
We recommend at minimum that each Student Fellow:
•
•
•
•
Meet with faculty mentor twice monthly.
Complete Action Plan by May 2015.
Reflection papers
Complete research project
ADCFP Program Components
1. ADCFP Action Plan
2. Bi-monthly collaboration meetings between Fellow and mentor
3. Career Reflection Essays (2)-at beginning and at conclusion.
4. Faculty/administrator interviews
5. Teaching practicum
6. Research practicum
7. Poster presentation at the ADEA Annual Session (optional)*
8. ADCFP Final Portfolio

1. ACTION PLAN
ADCFP ACTION PLAN
This plan will include a brief description of the final culminating
poster research project and a preliminary timeline to complete
the project as well as other professional and personal goals
the fellow plans to achieve.
Each Fellow/faculty mentor pair will have latitude in designing
their own program in coordination with ADEA and AAL- unique
to their institution and Fellow/mentor goals.
Example of Fellow-Mentor ADCFP Action Plan
• Fellow’s personal objectives for the year.
• Mentor-Fellow bi-monthly meeting schedule.
• Fellow’s 1st Career Reflection essay.
• Roster of faculty to be interviewed.
• List of Fellow’s teaching assignments.
• Research project description.
• Other activities planned to achieve objectives.
• Due May 2015.
• Examples of past Action Plans available.
Fellow’s Personal Objectives
• 2-3 Objectives and Assessments
• What will be the experiences that will define your program? Personal goals?
• Identify a teaching activity or biomedical research project.
• Teaching practicum examples: work on developing a syllabus, course
objectives, a lecture, lunch and learn for students; develop assessment
tool.
• Research practicum examples: designing a new project or work on
current faculty mentor project-role? Lunch and learn for students.
• Co-mentor: perhaps in alternate dental field of expertise.
2. Bi-Monthly Meetings
Fellow and Mentor Bi Monthly Meetings
Meetings should be in person but can be virtual if necessary.
Should be 30 minutes in length. Fellows should prepare questions
prior to meeting.
THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECT OF THE PROGRAM-no
matter how busy both student and faculty may be, meetings
should never be cancelled. They may be occasionally
rescheduled, shortened, or virtual—but never cancelled.
