Definition of "Scholarship" 

 

Scholarship is defined as discovery with dissemination of findings or new systems. Discovery is form of creativity. Examples of discovery and creativity include: research, both basic and clinical. However, discovery is not limited to traditional research.  Discovery includes quality improvement, curricular development and advances in educational systems, health policy and management which can also be disseminated.  Traditional mechanisms of dissemination include publication and presentation.  Other non-traditional but still valid mechanisms of dissemination include impacting or influencing the adaptation by medical education professionals or institutions of discovered or new educational or health care systems information.
