Abstract

This chapter outlines the steps that students can currently undertake to strengthen their foundation as an educator and in completing educational scholarship. The typical activities of an educator in health professions as defined by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) are presented to help readers understand the scope of opportunities as an educator in academic healthcare. The chapter then defines educational scholarship and instructs readers on how they may turn their current activities as educators into scholarship activities that can further advance their applications to graduate school as well as their careers in academic healthcare.
