Works in Progress Collaboratory

The goal of these workshops is to create an engaged educational research and innovation community that develops capacity for health professions education (HPE) scholarship. The workshops serve as an open forum for emerging scholars in health professions’ education to connect with and receive input from experienced scholars.

By the end of each workshop,

• The presenter will report having received valuable feedback that advances their health professions education project.
  
• Participants will report an increased sense of belonging in an inclusive community of educational scholars.

Once a month, two individuals will present their education work during a one-hour, virtual session. Presenters will receive feedback from experienced scholars as well as others in attendance. During the session presenters may ask for help with activities like:

• Brainstorming an Idea for an HPE project
• Planning Project Implementation
• Planning an Evaluation of a Project
• Reviewing an Abstract or Writing for Publication 
• Practicing a Presentation

Everyone is welcome to participate as attendees. We hope that this will become a fun, supportive community and anticipate that regular participants will make connections, learn from the discussion, and begin to contribute to the conversation.

PRESENTERS provide a brief description of their project and a set of questions that they would like input on during the discussion. Presenters may wish to share a document or slides that provide participants with enough detail to offer targeted feedback, advice about relevant frameworks or theories, possible references, and suggestions for improvement.

EXPERIENCED SCHOLARS can ask clarifying questions and provide input after hearing from the presenter.

ATTENDEES are invited and encouraged to ask questions and provide input after experienced scholars share initial thoughts.
