“…Whereas innovations are published often as original research articles in EM and medical education journals, some journals have a dedicated section or category dedicated to innovations, or indicate in their instructions for authors that educational innovations are encouraged. Blanchard et al 10 provided an excellent summary of venues in medical education journals. Within EM-specific journals, there are a few noteworthy examples.…”

“…Examples include curricular improvements, development of assessment tools, or creation of faculty development programs. 10 Barrows 11 points out that many publications of educational innovations have historically taken the form of descriptions of the innovations with an evaluation of learner or teaching satisfaction or an assessment of learner knowledge acquisition immediately postimplementation. He argues that these restricted evaluations are of "limited usefulness and are subject to bias and error, and they provide no information as to whether the information or skills acquired will be recalled and applied."…”

Objective: The scholarly dissemination of innovative medical education practices helps broaden the reach of this type of work, allowing scholarship to have an impact beyond a single institution. There is little guidance in the literature for those seeking to publish program evaluation studies and innovation papers. This study aims to derive a set of evidence-based features of high-quality reports on innovations in emergency medicine (EM) education. Methods: We conducted a scoping review and thematic analysis to determine quality markers for medical education innovation reports, with a focus on EM. A search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC, and Google Scholar was augmented by a hand search of relevant publication guidelines, guidelines for authors, and website submission portals from medical education and EM journals. Study investigators reviewed the selected articles, and a thematic analysis was conducted. Results: Our search strategy identified 14 relevant articles from which 34 quality markers were extracted. These markers were grouped into seven important themes: goals and need for innovation, preparation, innovation development, innovation implementation, evaluation of innovation, evidence of reflective practice, and reporting and dissemination. In addition, multiple outlets for the publication of EM education innovations were identified and compiled. Conclusion: The publication and dissemination of innovations are critical for the EM education community and the training of health professionals. We anticipate that our list of innovation report quality markers will be used by EM education innovators to support the dissemination of novel educational practices. FRRÉSUMÉIntroduction: La diffusion, dans les revues scientifiques, de pratiques innovantes en enseignement de la médecine élargit le lectorat potentiel, et permet ainsi à plus d'un établissement de profiter des retombées. Pourtant, la documentation médicale a peu à offrir en la matière à celles et ceux qui désirent publier des études sur l'évaluation de programmes et des articles sur
