A Toolkit for Medical Education Scholarship

Extract from editorial:

This editorial considers the scholarship of discovery and the scholarship of teaching (table 1),3,4 sometimes viewed as 2 ends of a research continuum.For medical educators with limited resources, this article proposes strategies for success based on evidence and the accumulated wisdom of JGME editors.

Other than perhaps a limited number of podcasts and videos, there is no way around it: you must read. Choose a medical education journal, or 1 to 2 topics, and read every month. Most medical education journals include all levels of physician and health professional training; some concentrate on a single area, such as JGME. Most peer-reviewed medical education journals are indexed on PubMed and accessible through institutions, including local public libraries linked to state universities. Others, including JGME, offer a large number of open-access articles at publication. Read articles for content, methods, and manuscript organization and format; these differ from journal to journal, and among article categories. For example, perspectives, reviews, original research, and personal essays have very different formats and styles.
