Family Medicine Graduate Programs (Medical Education Option) Workshop: "Reviewing papers for medical education journals: The CMEJ Experience" by Douglas Archibald, PhD

Reviewing papers for academic journals is an important contribution we can all make to the medical education community. Reviewing is also an excellent learning experience for both the authors and the reviewers. Unfortunately, reviewing is often a lonely activity with little specific feedback or opportunity to collaborate. Participants will learn about the peer review and decision-making process at the CMEJ and work independently but mostly in small groups to review an actual submission (eventually published in the CMEJ).

Dr. Douglas Archibald is the Director of Research and Innovation and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine with a cross-appointment to the Department of Innovation in Medical Education and the Faculty of Education. Dr. Archibald holds a PhD in Education (University of Ottawa) and is an alumnus of TUTOR-PHC. His research interests are in medical education, inter-professional education, research methodology, and eLearning. Dr. Archibald is the lead for the Program for Research Innovation and Medical Education (PRIME) and works to support research development, evaluation of research projects designed to enhance undergraduate and postgraduate medical education as well as faculty development in the Department of Family Medicine. His current research is exploring how electronic consultations can inform continuing professional development for primary care providers.
