Advocacy in Pediatric Academia: Charting a Path Forward

Abby L Nerlinger et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Pediatricians are effective advocates to improve the health and well-being of children, yet there are limited avenues by which to pursue academic promotion based on these activities. Drawing on an expanded definition of scholarship, pediatric advocates can use the portfolio format to highlight the quantity, quality, and impact of advocacy activities. True congruence with research and education will only be achieved through recognition and value by institutions and organizations.

Keywords: Academic promotion; Advocacy; Community health; Scholarship.
