【 摘 要 】

Introduction Curricular innovations are invaluable to the improvement of medical education programs, and thus, their dissemination to broader audiences is imperative. However, medical educators often struggle to translate innovative ideas into scholarly pursuits due to a lack of experience or expertise in selecting outcome measures that demonstrate impact. A recent national call for increased focus on outcome measures for medical education research highlights the need for more training in this area. Methods We developed a 2-hour interactive workshop to improve educator ability to identify outcome measures for educational innovations. This workshop was delivered at a national pediatrics educational conference and at three local institutional faculty development sessions. Results Participants were diverse in terms of experience, expertise, and roles within their educational programs. Participants rated the workshop positively in each setting and identified next steps in developing their own products of educational scholarship. Discussion This workshop can provide faculty and faculty developers with a template for developing a skill set in identifying outcome measures and pairing them with educational innovations.
