\"\"<\/em><\/p>\nWhat is the AOE?<\/span>

The Academy of Educators (AOE), at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, was founded in October 2006 as a part of the School\u2019s Strategic Plan to enhance research and scholarship towards excellence in teaching. Currently, the Academy has four committees: Scholarship, Programming, Awards, and Membership. The AOE is overseen by a President, with support from a Leadership Council, and a Coordinator from the Office of Faculty Affairs & Leadership Development.\u00a0Click here to learn more about the AOE.<\/a><\/div>\nIs the AOE only for medical educators?<\/span>
The AOE welcomes both medical and biomedical educators, including any faculty or trainees within the School of Medicine.<\/div>\nHow can I join the AOE listserv?<\/span>

All AOE events are open to any member of the UNC SOM community, except for our end-of-year Alan W. Cross Evening of Scholarship (and celebration). AOE membership is not required for attendance at any other event.<\/div>\nHow can I join the AOE?<\/span>
The membership nomination cycle opens each year in the spring and fall. For the current dates and deadlines, check out the link to our membership page<\/a>.<\/div>\nWhat are the AOE membership requirements?<\/span>
Attendance (virtual or in-person) at two (2) AOE events before the year applying are required. Service activities (e.g. serving as a mock interviewer, participating in AOE Essentials module development) also qualify for credit and will be advertised in the weekly email.<\/p>\n

To maintain membership, the same four (4) AOE events or service activity credits are required each year.<\/div>\nDo previously recorded events count towards requirements?<\/span>

Yes. Two (2) of the required four (4) events for new and continuing membership each year can be viewing of previously recorded events.<\/div>\nHow do I know how many events I've attended so far?<\/span>
Check out the AOE attendance database located on the resources page.<\/div>\n
