Building Community: BMERG is on Twitter

Posted on May 19, 2023June 27, 2023 by sarah.allsop

You can now follow Bristol Medical Education Research Group on Twitter!

Whilst there are of course many different social media platforms that offer ways of collaborating and learning, you will find on twitter most of the big medical education associations and publishers, along with many educators and researchers who share practice ideas through their content. So for now at least, twitter remains a great platform for connecting with the rest of the Medical Education community.

BMERG will also be regularly sharing news and events from Bristol through its new twitter account, as well as highlighting the work of other colleagues from around the world with ideas on best practice in Medical Education. Follow us at @BristolUniBMERG

Introducing BMERG

By Sarah Allsop, Senior Lecturer in Medical Education at Bristol Medical School and Steve Jennings, Lead for the MSc Programme at TLHP, Bristol Medical School

Welcome to the blog of the University of Bristol Medical Education Research Group, from Bristol Medical School.

This Group aims to bring together all staff who have an interest in Medical Education Research both here at Bristol Medical School and beyond. We hope this group will foster a great sense of collaboration between all those involved in the education of healthcare professionals, and how they might evaluate, research and share their innovate work.

BMERG was conceptualised by our School Education Director, Annie Noble Denny to bring together all of the fantastic work at Bristol Medical School around a wide variety of Medical Education research topics. BMERG is co-led by Sarah Allsop and Steve Jennings. Both are happy to be contacted about the work of the group at brms-bmerg@bristol.ac.uk.

Our research spans a wide variety of project themes across both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education delivery including curriculum design and innovation, assessment and evaluation, digital learning environment, equality, diversity and inclusion, student wellbeing and supporting educators.

Over the course of the next year, BMERG will be launching a series of workshops and guidance around topics such as publishing, collaborating, and building your profile as an education researcher.
