Networking. Collaboration. Scholarly output. Faculty learning communities check all the boxes.

If producing educational scholarship is on your to-do list, a structured opportunity with built-in accountability could be what you need to kick-start your effort and make it a reality. Research in Medical Education (RIME) faculty learning communities (FLCs) are small, peer-led groups with similar research interests who engage in an active, collaborative, two-year program (July to June) that is structured to provide encouragement, support and reflection. Apply to join a RIME FLC by March 31.
