Research & Innovation in Medical Education

Due to the growing interest of educators and researchers in promoting and sharing innovations in medical education, the Research and Innovations in Medical Education (RIME) Conference began in January 2005.  Building on the long standing tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration at the University, this workshop serves to bring together a diverse group of educators and researchers across the University of Chicago’s clinical, basic science, and social science departments to share and discuss interesting ongoing innovations and approaches to medical education. 

Co-sponsored by the Section of General Internal Medicine, the Pritzker School of Medicine, and the Center for Health and the Social Sciences (CHeSS), RIME features both institutional and external educators and researchers whose work is focused on improvements and methods in medical education. This work could include but is not limited to the following: curriculum development or implementation, competency assessment and evaluation, simulation or observation studies, and policy or ethical dilemmas in medical training.

Individuals interested in presenting work should contact Vineet Arora at varora@medicine.bsd.uchicago.edu or Jeanne Farnan at jfarnan@medicine.bsd.uchicago.edu. RIME will occur the first Thursday of every month in Billings Hospital, Room L316 from 12:15-1:00pm. RIME Conferences Archives are also available.
