| Master Teacher Project | |
|
The Master Teacher Project was implemented in September 2002. The goal of the program is to preserve faculty members' teaching time and encourage a renewed focus on teaching and evaluating students' clinical skills. Participants in the Master Teacher Program are granted appointments as a master teacher. Funding for this program is provided by the Dean's office. Twenty-nine faculty members from both basic science and clinical departments were appointed as master teachers in 2002. They were involved in projects related to the teaching of core clinical skills and in curricular innovations at all levels of educational programs. |

| Initiatives for Educator Development | |
| The goals of the Initiatives for Educator Development are to assist faculty in their pursuit of scholarly educational activity; to sensitize faculty to current educational issues; and to enhance the teaching skills necessary for educating physicians in the 21st century. The Initiatives for Educator Development consists of three components: |
|
| Workshops and Mini-Fellowships | |
| Workshops and mini-fellowships are offered in collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine, The University of Texas Dental Branch, and The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. The goal of these programs is to enhance the teaching skills of those involved in health science education. Topics have included team learning, curriculum design, teaching in the ambulatory setting, measuring educational outcomes, small group interaction, portfolio preparation, and technology in teaching. Offerings include stand-alone sessions as well as a series of sessions that extend over several weeks. This series allows faculty the flexibility to choose the sessions likely to be of most benefit. |

| Educational Scholars' Fellowship Program (ESFP) | |
The ESFP is designed to expand the teaching skills of participating faculty and enhance the educational mission of the Medical School. This certificate program originated at the Baylor College of Medicine and has expanded to include a collaborative relationship with the Medical School and The University of Texas Dental Branch. The program accepts applicants every other year and the curriculum extends over a 24-month period. This option is suitable for faculty who desire a more extensive program than simply attending individual workshops and mini-fellowships, but prefer something less intense than the Master of Education in Teaching program. The fellowship is designed to increase fellows':
