Co-Moderators: Lindsey M. Haddock, MD, MAEd & Carolina Fonseca Valencia, MD, FACP

Developed by the Education Committee and the Teachers Section

This session will review the various components of the EP and empower interprofessional geriatrics educators to create their own EP to showcase their value as an educator and support career advancement. Attendees will have access to on-line resources to help create their own educator portfolios. Learning Objectives: (1) describe how an educator portfolio can support career advancement; (2) explain the various components and the documentation/materials required to create an Educator Portfolio; (3) utilize the Educator Portfolio to overcome inequities and bias towards the value, impact and scholarly output of an interprofessional educator as opposed to more traditional forms of scholarship; (4) explain the difference between role model, mentor, coach and sponsor; (5) describe best practices for building productive, respectful, and goal-oriented mentoring relationships; and (6) empower interprofessional mentees to self-advocate and promote their careers.
