We thank Dr. Chow and colleagues for taking interest in our Innovation Report and having ambition to extend our coached peer review technique beyond medical students. Indeed, it is important that we form communities of practice1,2 around early career faculty members looking to up their academic scholarship game. As Dr. Chow and colleagues point out, early career academic clinicians are often asked to perform academic duties beyond their training. Some opt to pursue graduate studies early in their careers,3 but there is no guarantee that these programs will teach them the academic skills they need to thrive. As grants become scarce and publication pressures mount, it is increasingly hard for early career academics to be successful. We agree that opening peer review to become the formative, coaching process we describe may be part of the solution. Similarly, innovations, like group peer review processes,4 can also help those acquiring skills in reviewing articles, providing them with mentors who offer insights into the mysteries of peer review. Another way for early career academics to gain skills is to become apprentices or partake in high-level faculty development communities. Programs like the Academic Life in Emergency Medicine faculty incubator program,5 Harvard Macy’s educators course,6 or the CanadiEM digital scholars fellowship7 are other possible ways for individuals to acquire and develop their skills. Lastly, perhaps institutions should completely reexamine their promotions processes. Not every clinician–teacher needs to be a great researcher. The time and energy it takes to engage uninterested early career faculty in the art of academic scholarship may be better spent changing the hearts and minds (and policies) of our institutions to acknowledge the modern medical school’s diverse forms of scholarship. Advocacy, community service, leadership, and high-quality teaching are some of the ways great clinician–teachers contribute. Perhaps instead of asking everyone to play by the same rules, we could instead acknowledge that our talents vary, and through structural reform celebrate, invest, and reward this diversity accordingly.3 Teresa M.
