Join us via Zoom* for this AAMC MERC Workshop, “Scholarly Writing: Publishing Medical Education Research,” facilitated by Dr. Jean Bailey, Kathy Kreutzer, and Dr. Ashlie Tseng, VCU School of Medicine. In this session, the skills of scholarly writing will be explored through the lens of analyzing a manuscript that was accepted for publication. Register early, space is limited to 25 participants!   Open to the VCU Community. 

The participants will examine review criteria that are used by healthcare education journals and apply them to a sample manuscript. In discussing scholarly writing the participants will make a decision about the type of feedback they would give to the authors of the sample paper.  After participating in this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify the components of a scholarly publication;
• Discuss how to frame a problem statement;
• Identify an effective Research Question;
• Discuss whether the Design/method is appropriate to the question;
• Discuss whether the authors have applied the best data collection methods to the appropriate sample;
• Understand the Results section and how to present results in a clear manner.

The last several months have been both challenging and transformational for trainees, scholars, educators and practitioners in the health sciences education. The results of these transformations not only highlight our ability to adapt and grow, but also reveal our narratives of success. We want to celebrate these! The review committee will be seeking proposals that utilize innovative and scholarly approaches of addressing challenges in three topic areas:

1. Diversity and Inclusion and/or Equity in health sciences education
2. Online Engagement of health sciences students and trainees
3. Wellness within health sciences education 

Program Goals:

• Share health sciences educational innovations and scholarship occurring at VCU.
• Provide a forum for presentation, discussion, and feedback for scholarly work to advance new and ongoing education research.
• Network with faculty, trainees, and students interested in promoting educational excellence.
