Scholarship Oversight Committee

Review of scholarly activity and the written work product will occur at the local level. Each fellow must have a Scholarship Oversight Committee. The Scholarship Oversight Committee should consist of three or more individuals, at least one of whom is based outside the subspecialty discipline; the fellowship program director may serve as a trainee’s mentor and participate in the activities of the oversight committee, but should not be a standing (i.e., voting) member. This committee will:

​

• Determine whether a specific activity is appropriate to meet the ABP guidelines for scholarly activity

• Determine a course of preparation beyond the core fellowship curriculum to ensure successful completion of the project

• Evaluate the fellow's progress as related to scholarly activity

• Meet with the fellow early in the training period and regularly thereafter

• Require the fellow to present/defend the project related to his/her scholarly activity

• Advise the program director on the fellow's progress and assess whether the fellow has satisfactorily met the guidelines associated with the requirement for active participation in scholarly activities
