Abstract

Research in medical education is critical for demonstrating the effectiveness of educational interventions and for identifying new methods of teaching and assessment. Education research can facilitate the careful and systematic approach to educational innovations, bridge the gap between education theory and practice, and support policy changes. Research also allows us to study new advances in science and technology in order to clarify their benefit and identify how to best use this information to facilitate learning. Taking a scholarly approach to education research allows others to determine the value of an intervention. Additionally, given that we are often tasked with improving the efficiency and effectiveness of medical education, studying the impact of teaching and learning approaches provides important data to guide such improvements.
