ACADEMY MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS – PORTFOLIO TEMPLATE:
Interested LSUHSC-NO faculty members may apply for membership in the Academy at any time. Applications received by March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 will undergo peer review during the quarter immediately following each of these dates. Upon notification of acceptance, new members will be immediately eligible for full participation and benefits. New members are recognized during the Academy Fall Symposium.
Applications reflect a portfolio format comprised of an Educator Portfolio (Use the Guide and Word templates available below), current CV, and letters of recommendations (see the Guide for requirements) .
Please allow sufficient time to reflect on your activities and accomplishments and prepare an effective application. You are also encouraged to take advantage of faculty development workshops, consultations, and resource materials described below and in the Call for Membership Applications. Enlisting a trusted colleague or Academy member to review materials and provide feedback can be a tremendous help in preparing an effective application portfolio. Applications for all membership categories undergo peer-review by members of the Academy (i.e. internal peer review). Applications for Teaching Scholars undergo both internal and external peer review.

AAMC-GEA Summary Report of the 2006 Consensus Conference on Educational Scholarship - PDF
This 47-page report contains explanations of various educational domains and how accepted criteria of educational scholarship can be applied. The second half of the report (pages 19-34) contains multiple examples and suggestions for ways in which individuals can document their quantity, quality, and engagement with the educational community (i.e., Scholarly Approach and Educational Scholarship) and provide evidence of their achievements effectively for purposes of career advancement. Results of the consensus conference are highly consistent with the LSUHSC-NO Academy and its peer review criteria and process.
