SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
The purpose of Special Interest Groups (previously called Scholarship Working Groups) is to connect active DOCS members who have common interests and provide for them a semi-structured environment to facilitate scholarly projects. The hope is that these groups will gradually build expertise in their area of interest and become a resource for DOCS, its members, and the general medical education community at large.
A SIG can form in one of several ways, including:
-
From a call from the DOCS Executive Council or one of its standing committees
-
From a group of collaborators facilitating a workshop at an annual meeting
-
From a request to form such a group from an active DOCS member
-
In response to a vibrant listserv discussion
The DOCS Executive Council must approve all official Special Interest Groups.
Previous and/or current SIGs have centered around:
-
Clinical Reasoning*
-
Remediation and Coaching*
-
Faculty Development
-
Innovative Instructional Design
-
Patient Encounter Notes

If you have any questions about SIGs or are interested in joining one as an active member, email the DOCS Executive Council.
