Medical education research: a vibrant community of research and education practice

ConclusionsMedical education is thriving because it is shaped and nourished within a community of practice of collaborating teachers, practitioners and researchers. This obviates the threat of a fissure between education research and education practice. The values of this community of practice – inclusiveness, openness, supportiveness, nurture and mentorship – are key elements for its sustainability. In pacing the development of our research in a manner that maintains this synergy, we should be mindful of the zone of proximal development of our community of practice.
