The Educational Research Series (ERS) of the Educator Development Program (EDP) is an asynchronous, self-paced, Drake Institute endorsed program to help faculty learn the research process as it relates to health professions education.
See below for more information and when you’re ready, apply here.
The goal of ERS is for faculty to design and prepare to conduct educational research; in doing so, faculty will develop greater autonomy in navigating various stages of educational research.
Program Overview
The Educator Develop Program-Educational Research Series (EDP-ERS) program is intended to develop College of Medicine and School of Health Rehabilitation Sciences faculty into leaders in the medical education field. Requirements for the program include:
- Completing the core curriculum of the five sessions,
- Attending or viewing five EDP-ERS Spotlight sessions,
- Attending five one-on-one meetings with an OCS specialist, and
- Completing the capstone project of preparing an IRB submission.
Timeline: This course is self-paced and should be completed within one calendar year.
Participant Outcomes
Participants will design, and prepare to conduct, their own educational research over the course of the program. By the end of the program, each participant will complete an educational research project. Participants will work with ERS instructors to develop the learning objectives and deliverables (e.g., Institutional Review Board [IRB] protocol; grant proposal; manuscript) for their educational research project based on their interests and career goals.
