Synopsis:

The pursuit of scholarly activities such as research, presentation and publication in health professions education facilitates the personal and professional growth as educators. We will discuss Boyer’s model of scholarship, Glassick’s standards for effective scholarship and how educators can craft a career as scholars who contribute meaningfully to the field. Most pertinent among the activities is communicating research results and findings, reporting implementation and evaluation of innovations and synthesizing literature on a given topic through effective presentations and manuscript writing. The oral and written forms of scholarly presentations, including publications, require a clear, systematic, purposeful and rigorous approach to have a significant impact on other educators or the field. Therefore, the workshop is proposed to engage health professions educators in enhancing their presentation style and writing for scholarship skills. Finally, most scholars write in groups and a discussion of collaborative writing would be essential for scholars today where collaborations cross geographical boundaries.
