| description | Emergency medicine (EM) education is becoming increasingly challenging as a result of changes
to North American medical education and the growing complexity of EM practice. Education
scholarship (ES) provides a process to develop solutions to these challenges. ES includes both
research and innovation. ES is informed by theory, principles and best practices, is peer reviewed,
and is disseminated and archived for others to use. Digital technologies have improved the
discovery of work that informs ES, broadened the scope and timing of peer review, and provided
new platforms for the dissemination and archiving of innovations. This editorial reviews key steps
in raising an education innovation to the level of scholarship. It also discusses important areas for
EM education scholars to address, which include the following: the delivery of competency-based
medical education programs, the impact of social media on learning, and the redesign of continuing
professional development. |
