The goals of the APPD Research and Scholarship Learning Community are to:

  1. Understand the needs of the APPD membership in the domains of research and scholarship
  2. Support the APPD’s organizational processes and procedures that promote research and scholarship by APPD members

To successfully meet these goals, the Research and Scholarship Learning Community engages in a variety of activities, including:

  • Facilitating group projects among learning community members
  • Providing resources to facilitate educational scholarship
  • Developing and leading workshops focused on medical education research topics at the APPD Annual Spring Meeting
  • Reviewing APPD meeting abstracts and enhanced learning session proposal submissions
  • Reviewing research surveys intended for the APPD membership
  • Choosing research prize winners

We welcome all APPD members, regardless of experience with medical education research. This community is a great way to be connected with other APPD members with a particular interest in educational research and scholarship and take advantage of opportunities to improve your own research, appraisal, and mentoring skills.
