Learn more about medical education research
Are you interested in medical education research but not sure where to start? Have you collected data and are wondering about the next step? Maybe you have drifted away from education scholarship and are looking for opportunities to re-engage? Building connections with colleagues is crucial to maintain both interest and momentum, especially for those new to medical education scholarship. Yet, many of us don’t have the regular opportunities and support to thoughtfully engage in conversation around our scholarly pursuits.
Medical Education Research Roundtables:
This lunchtime seminar is aimed at facilitating constructive dialogue within the local FoM community about the possibilities (and sometimes pitfalls) of pursuing medical education research. We invite speakers within our Dalhousie community and beyond to delve into the logistical matters, unexpected dilemmas, and issues worthy of attention that can arise when undertaking a research project. Each session will include ample time for you to seek guidance and advice on the practical issues that can sometimes delay and/or discourage researchers from doing research. You won’t want to miss out! For more information, see below.
When: second Tuesday of the month from 12-1 pm via MS Teams
Who can attend:
· Medical students, residents and/or graduate students with an interest in medical education research
· Faculty (MD/PhD) pursuing or collaborating on medical education research
· RIM Mentors and Directors
