Education Scholarship
Educational Improvement and Innovation is invested in helping educators develop as education researchers within the academic health center context. Conducting education research is valuable because it promotes more scholarly approaches to teaching and learning and it allows us to investigate and improve our learning environments and practices as a university. In addition, individual faculty can focus their careers (and thus their promotion efforts) on disseminating education-related projects, innovation, and research.
