Creating Snapshots of Our Education Contributions.

Education contributions are significant, but often challenging to document and describe. In addition, contributions may go unrecognized or rewarded unless the work results in publication or presentation. Drawing on a metaphor of the importance of the fisher’s photo to capture memories of successful fishing trips, this commentary examines methods to identify and organize contributions. Frameworks and a visual tool are presented to assist pharmacy educators in thinking systematically about the full breadth of education contributions. Using the frameworks and visualization tool, a more complete picture of education contributions develops, allowing educators to create visual snapshots of their work for others to see and appreciate.
