About
Explore how a passion for teaching can evolve into a focused area of expertise and a platform for academic leadership
For many physicians, a passion for teaching begins at the bedside, in the classroom, or through mentorship of trainees. But how does a commitment to teaching evolve into an area of expertise—and how can that expertise become a meaningful program of scholarship, professional growth, and academic impact?
Join Suzanne Boyle, MD, for a professional development seminar exploring how clinicians can intentionally build an academic identity through medical education. Drawing on her own career and her work in clinical reasoning as a case example, Dr. Boyle will illustrate the progression from identifying an educational problem and developing expertise to asking scholarly questions, studying educational practice, disseminating findings, and building a national reputation.
Whether you are an experienced educator or simply beginning to recognize teaching as an important part of your professional identity, this session will offer a practical framework for transforming educational interests into scholarship and impact—and for using medical education as a pathway to shape the future of nephrology.
