Fostering Collaborative Research Culture Through Research Development Rounds.

ABSTRACT Helping physicians to prepare for and fulfill their role as CanMEDS scholars requires collaborative research environments, which promote engagement with a research community of practice through all stages of the research process. To foster such an environment in the Department of Family Medicine, we spearheaded Research Development Rounds. Open to anyone with interest in research development, Research Development Rounds offer an opportunity for faculty, staff, residents, and other trainees to receive constructive feedback on their work that is in development from department members. Programs seeking to create a more collaborative research culture should try this approach.
