CGEA MESRE Virtual Office Hours
In an effort to promote medical education scholarship, the CGEA Medical Education Scholarship Research and Evaluation (MESRE) group provides MESRE Virtual Office Hours for CGEA members. The virtual office hours provide consultations and mentoring for CGEA members (especially early career) who plan and conduct research or innovation projects in education. If you ever have some questions like those below, we can help!
● Incubating a project idea. Is this project idea making sense? Is this something that people would like to know in the field?
● Identifying a question: What specific question should I pursue to conduct a research or program evaluation study?
● Literature review: How can I strengthen my rationale for the study? What theoretical or conceptual framework should I consider for my study?
● Study design: What methodology should I consider for my project? How can I do the data collection and analysis process? What should I consider for methodological rigor?
● Dissemination: What journals/conferences should I consider for submission? How can I address reviewers’ comments on my manuscript in a revision?
● Other: Any questions about medical education research and scholarship. How I can start with medical education research?
Interested in getting feedback on your educational grant proposal? Sign up for a one-on-one consultation with a CGEA MESRE member! Please send a brief summary of your project to Rachel Moquin at rachel.moquin@case.edu.
