The Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) mission is to advance scholarship in health professions education. By scholarship, we mean innovation, evaluation, research, and practitioner inquiry.

Scholarship plays a pivotal role in curriculum development by providing a foundation of evidence-based practices and fostering innovation. It can ensure that curricula are designed, implemented, and evaluated rigorously to meet the evolving demands of education. Through its application, we can identify gaps in existing curricula, explore new teaching methodologies, and assess their impact on learner outcomes.

In this session, we will explore. examples of scholarly activity from across the ASME membership and consider how these practices may translate into your local context.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to

• Identify opportunities for scholarship in curriculum development
• Outline potential projects to improve curriculum effectiveness
• Draft a roadmap for engaging in scholarship and collaboration
