With the increasing popularity of CBD-based products, especially CBD oil, it is increasingly important to understand what motivates caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to use CBD oil as part of treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify the attitudes and beliefs of caregivers of individuals with…
Professional identity formation (PIF) is a growing area of research in medical education. However, it is unclear whether the present research base is suitable for understanding PIF in physicians considered to be under‐represented in medicine (URM). This meta‐ethnography examined the qualitative PIF literature from 2012 to 2019 to assess its…
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), occurs in ∼1 to 2 individuals per 1000 each year, corresponding to ∼300 000 to 600 000 events in the United States annually. These evidence-based guidelines from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) intend to support patients, clinicians, and…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an often unrecognized complication of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) associated with significant economic burden and poor long-term hepatic and extrahepatic outcomes. Our goal is to review evidence about the complex association between NAFLD and T2DM and highlight the potential for disease co-management with the…
We aimed to study the impact of a combined faculty-student book club on education and medical practice as a part of the informal curriculum at the University of Florida College of Medicine in the United States. Henderson R, Hagen M, Zaidi Z, Dunder V, Maska E,…

What constitutes science in educational research? This question is not as straightforward to answer given the diversity of disciplines represented in health professions education. As researchers, we engage in scientific study to advance our field; we are also an applied field, with goals to produce knowledge…
In this Commentary, the authors seek to build on prior RIME Commentaries by considering how researchers transition from worldviews, focal lengths, and research goals, to research directions and methodological choices. The authors use the analogy of a hiker to illustrate how different researchers studying a similar phenomenon can choose among…
The AAMC’s Group on Educational Affairs (GEA) aims to advance medical education through faculty development, educational research, and assessment across the continuum. One of the GEA sections is Medical Education Scholarship, Research, and Evaluation (MESRE), which enhances the quality of research in medical education and promotes its application to educational…
