Making the most out of what you’ve done: Academic venues for scholarship

Making the most out of what you’ve done: Academic venues for scholarly products in health professions education

While many models exist to describe the interconnected nature of research, teaching, and scholarship, one key component includes the dissemination of best practices, lessons learned, and resources across a network of peers. In this workshop, the presenter will share experiences in transforming scholarly efforts into published products and discuss different formats and venues possible within the health professions education research and scholarship space. Participants will have the opportunity, through individual work and open discussion, to begin to transform their scholarly work into a scholarly product.

MEREDITH YOUNG, PhD, is a Professor in the Institute of Health Sciences Education at McGill University. She earned her PhD in cognitive psychology from McMaster University studying how individuals (both individuals with and without medical expertise) think through a variety of complex problems in medicine. Her current work examines reasoning in Health Professions Education, and the assumptions that underpin what we think makes for a good decision. She explores this topic in three main areas: 1) issues related to clinical reasoning, 2) issues of validity and assessment in Health Professions Education (HPE), 3) issues related to the ways we conduct research in Health Professions Education. Her work aims to make our understandings of key concepts in HPE more explicit in order to support productive dialogue to better support teaching, assessment, and scholarly practices.
