The McMaster Education Research, Innovation and Theory (MERIT) Program has served the Faculty of Health Sciences for more than 45 years. We collaborate with faculty to engage in high-impact, high-value education scholarship. Our vision is to grow a community of scientists and clinicians to advance health professions education through research and applied science.


MESSAGE FROM THE ASSISTANT DEAN
2022 marks the completion of my first term leading MERIT. Our community has evolved and grown during this time. But what will always remain the same is our mission to grow a community of clinicians and scientists to advance health professions education through research and applied science.
