We are delighted at the positive response to a new monthly UW Medical Education Research and Scholarship Discussion Forum.
The first forum will be Monday, February 4 in the Foege Building, Room S110 on the first floor, 12:00-1:15. We will serve a casual lunch and beverages. Sara Kim, faculty member in the Dept of Medical Education and Biomedical Informatics, will describe research activities going on in the Institute for Surgical and Interventional Simulation (ISIS).
If you would like to present or lead a discussion of a medical education research or scholarship idea, proposal, finding, manuscript, paper, journal article, or work in progress, please contact one of us as soon as possible.

I have a question regarding methods of standardising written evaluation of our trainees. Presently we're asking evaluators to use a numerical rating scale (1-5; 1 being poor and 5 excellent) applied to a number of different assessed domains, some cognitive and others behavioural. aside from the obvious difficulties of using this method of ranking for such diverse characteristics, i'm concerned that somebody's '3' is another persons '5'. how can i reduce inter-assessor variability (other than by complex and lengthy assessor training) and introduce greater concordance and validity to our assessment process?
There is an opportunity to apply to get scholarships every month. Just give an aptitude test and get the opportunity to give the test and get an scholarship!
