Instructions for Presenters

UW Medical Education Research and Scholarship Forum

• All presentations must be focused on research or scholarship in medical education. This can include:

  • your own research findings (preliminary or final)

  • research or scholarship activities within your department / unit

  • research and scholarship ideas (e.g. an idea for a new curricular approach)

  • selecting a paper to discuss and leading the journal club discussion

• It’s okay (and encouraged!) to present ideas on which you’d like feedback

• Remember this is a diverse group, with varying levels of expertise and interest – consider this as you prepare your talk (we can send you the list of current participants at your request). At our first meeting, the group expressed interest in the following:

• what med ed research is going on at UW?

• collaboration around integrating simulation (electronic, SPs, etc.)

• collaboration around digital opportunities/software

• learning about new educational tools

• how to generally improve the ways we teach

• learning how to bring evidence to what and how we teach

• impact and dissemination

• interest in learning theory

• grant opportunities

• educational resources that can be used in WWAMI & training people for rural practice

• list of resources on the blog for upcoming medical education conferences and journal deadlines

• At the end of your talk, prepare to pose one or two questions you want the group to brainstorm on or help answer (to get conversation moving)

• If we have two presentations  time limit is 20 minutes per presentation, with 10 minutes for Q&A at the end (total 30 min each)

• If we have one presentation  time limit is 30 minutes, with 10 min Q&A (total 40 min), which leaves us ~30 min for a journal discussion
