Joining the conversation: introducing a dedicated medical education corpus
The MEC provides a focused corpus that enables medical education scholars to more easily join conversations in the field. Scholars can rely on the MEC when reviewing literature to frame their work, and the MEC also creates opportunities for field-wide analyses and meta-research. The core methodology also underlies the MedEdMentor Paper Database (mededmentor.org), a separately maintained online tool that complements the versioned MEC snapshot with a web-based search interface.
