Characterizing Research Teams
Research in health professions education (HPE) is often executed by teams-groups of individuals working together to solve a problem, reconceptualize an issue, or conduct a study. Teams frequently involve individuals from different disciplinary backgrounds or professions1,2 who work collaboratively to accomplish specific scholarly goals. Matching team composition to research goals is critical for ensuring the team has the skills and perspectives necessary to generate, integrate, and mobilize the desired knowledge. Drawing on literature,3,4 we describe the who, what, how, and when of 4 types of research teams.
