Scholarship of integration in Medical education and research : what it is and what it isnt:

Scholarship of integration in medical education and research makes connections within and between disciplines, locating knowledge in a broader context giving meaning to specific discoveries. 

It aims to distribute the fruits of academic discovery to benefit specific individual members of society aka patients who in turn help academics to multiply the construction of new knowledge translated into practice. 

Scholarship of integration in Medical education and research is not just about integrating scholarship of teaching learning with the scholarship of discovery but is all about integration of patient centered societal goals with teaching and learning. 

It is vital that academic institutions and medical schools remain relevant in an era when the production of knowledge is increasingly recognized as a social collaborative activity. 

Scholarship of integration, enables shared knowledge through a participatory framework and includes practical methods to guide institutional change along with reporting and evaluating them.  

Scholarship of integration focuses on outcomes not just on student learning but also in the context of Medical education directed toward it's  ultimate beneficiaries, that is the patients themselves, through a framework that enables driving of patient outcomes through student learning outcomes and a real time clinical audit trail that allows us to join the dots between the two.
