The BCH Academy’s scholar groups form a community of Academy members who support each other in developing, implementing, and evaluating medical education scholarly research projects. Each group is led by faculty with experience in research design, project management, and scholarly publication. Access to BCH Academy groups is restricted to Academy members. If you are an Academy member and have not received your login credentials, please contact BCHacademy@childrens.harvard.edu
