Scholarly Writing: Publishing Medical Education Research - 10/3/2022

In this session, the skills of scholarly writing will be explored through the lens of analyzing a manuscript that was accepted for publication. 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.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

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

This workshop is a part of the MERC Virtual Workshop Series.
