Writing Collaboratively in Medical Education

Scholarly writing and working in teams are vital skills for medical education faculty. Collaborative writing brings together team members from varying departments, professions, and universities and, as such, optimizes the resources and skill sets needed to develop high-quality projects and manuscripts. Previous literature discusses a broad perspective on collaborative writing, including writing surveys, submitting for institutional review board, and grant writing. We build on this work by providing detailed guidance for planning the writing process and then writing collaboratively towards a successful medical education submission.
