CENTENO, Ángel M.  y  MARTINEZ CARRETERO, Josep Mª. Innovations, research and evidences in medical education: The BEME Collaboration (Best Evidence Medical Education). Educ. méd. [online]. 2003, vol.6, n.1, pp.32-36. ISSN 1575-1813.

Although education has ever constituted an essential component of medical profession, its explicit and specific development has only recently started in the last few decades. Research on medical education is still in a very initial stage of development. Educational interventions usually are complex and of a qualitative nature; that’s why it is hard, even though essential, to obtain scientific evidences that underpin the various educational methods as well as the assessment tools which are used at different medical education levels. From the perspective and strategies generated by evidence based medicine methodologies, The BEME Collaboration has recently emerged as an international network whose priority objective is to collect and to promote the best evidence that may be affordable on the rigor and quality of currently used and newly created formative and evaluative methods in the medical profession field, in order to optimise the use of the extraordinary investment that society carries out in training health care professionals.

Palabras clave : Medical education; Research; Scientific evidence; BEME.
