          Abstract

          Background

          Residency training is increasingly occurring in community settings. The opportunity for community-based scholarship is untapped and substantial. We explored Community Family Medicine Preceptors’ understanding of Educational Scholarship (ES), looked at barriers and enablers to ES, and identified opportunities to promote the growth of ES in this setting.

          Methods

          We conducted semi-structured interviews with fifteen purposively chosen community-based Family Medicine preceptors in a distributed Canadian family medicine program.

          Results

          Community Family Medicine Preceptors strongly self-identify as clinical teachers. They are not well acquainted with the definition of ES, but recognize themselves as scholars. Community Family Medicine Preceptors recognize ES has significant value to themselves, their patients, communities, and learners. Most Community Family Medicine Preceptors were interested and willing to invest in ES, but lack of time and scarcity of primary care research experience were seen as barriers. Research process support and a connection to the academic center were considered enablers. Opportunities to promote the growth of ES include recognition that there are fundamental differences between community and academic sites, the development of a mentorship program, and a process to encourage engagement.

          Conclusions

          Community Family Medicine Preceptors identify foremost as clinician teachers. They are engaged in and recognize the value of ES to their professional community at large and to their patients and learners. There is a growing commitment to the development of ES in the community

          Contexte

          Les stages de résidence se font de plus en plus en milieu communautaire, un milieu qui offre des possibilités de scholarship intéressantes demeurant inexploitées. Nous avons étudié la compréhension qu’ont les superviseurs en médecine familiale communautaire au sujet du scholarship de l’éducation (SÉ), examiné les obstacles et les facteurs favorables au SÉ et identifié les possibilités de le promouvoir dans le cadre communautaire.

          Méthodes

          Nous avons mené des entretiens semi-structurés avec quinze cliniciens enseignants en médecine familiale communautaire choisis à dessein dans un programme de médecine familiale décentralisée au Canada.

          Résultats

          Les superviseurs en médecine familiale communautaire se définissent fermement comme cliniciens enseigants. Peu familiers avec la définition du SÉ, ils se considèrent néanmoins comme érudits. Ils reconnaissent l’importance considérable du scholarship de l’éducation autant pour eux que pour leurs patients, les communautés et les apprenants. La plupart des superviseurs en médecine familiale communautaire se disent intéressés et disposés à s’investir en SÉ, mais se sentent limités par le manque de temps et le peu d'expérience en recherche en soins primaires. Le soutien au processus de recherche et un lien avec le centre universitaire sont considérés comme éléments favorables. La possibilité de développer le SÉ passe par la reconnaissance des différences fondamentales entre les sites communautaires et universitaires, la création d'un programme de mentorat et la mise en place d’un processus visant à encourager l'engagement.

          Conclusions

          Les superviseurs en médecine familiale communautaire se définissent avant tout comme des cliniciens enseignants. Ils s’investissent dans le SÉ et ils reconnaissent son importance pour leur communauté professionnelle, leurs patients et leurs apprenants. Il y a un engagement croissant envers le développement du SÉ dans la communauté.

            Boyer's expanded definitions of scholarship, the standards for assessing scholarship, and the elusiveness of the scholarship of teaching.

            Debate about faculty roles and rewards in higher education during the past decade has been fueled by the work of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, principally Scholarship Reconsidered and Scholarship Assessed. The author summarizes those publications and reviews the more recent work of Lee Shulman on the scholarship of teaching. In 1990, Ernest Boyer proposed that higher education move beyond the tired old "teaching versus research" debate and that the familiar and honorable term "scholarship" be given a broader meaning. Specifically, scholarship should have four separate yet overlapping meanings: the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application, and the scholarship of teaching. This expanded definition was well received, but from the beginning, assessment of quality was a stumbling block. Clearly, Boyer's concepts would be useful only if scholars could be assured that excellence in scholarly work would be maintained. Scholars at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching addressed this issue by surveying journal editors, scholarly press directors, and granting agencies to learn their definitions of excellence in scholarship. From the findings of these surveys, six standards of excellence in scholarship were derived: Scholars whose work is published or rewarded must have clear goals, be adequately prepared, use appropriate methods, achieve outstanding results, communicate effectively, and then reflectively critique their work. The scholarship of teaching remains elusive, however. The work of Lee Shulman and others has helped clarify the issues. The definition of this form of scholarship continues to be debated at colleges and universities across the nation.
