Where Health Services Research Has Led, Medical Education Research May Follow (Commentary) 

Graham Watt.

Medical Education
June 2005, Vol. 39, Issue #6, pg. 555-556.

Review by: Linda Heun, Ph.D. <lheun@aacom.org>

The author looks ahead to the challenges facing medical education research and draws lessons from health services research as both are tied to government funding and a call for evidence-based policy and practice. He suggests that medical education research is far behind and should move, as did health services research, to:

  • more sophisticated research methodologies
  • increased financial support for research
  • opportunities for developing research skills
  • development of research-supportive infrastructure, and
  • movement toward collaborative research across schools and program.
