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.
