The inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017) was held in Bloomington, Indiana in July of 2017. This workshop style conference paired experienced educational researchers (invited speakers) with individuals interested in learning more about the field (accepted applicants). In 2017, AERI was held over a five-day period and entailed plenary style presentations, break-out sessions, and specific times for small group mentorship. All participants (applicants and invited speakers) completed a pre-conference survey at the beginning of the institute and a post-conference survey at the end of the institute. Both surveys included categorical and Likert scale questions as well as open-ended questions for participant feedback. Quantitative and qualitative analyses indicate that both applicants and speakers increased their knowledge of anatomy education research, but that additional obstacles remain. Funding, time, and a lack of respect for the field remain problematic for faculty that wish to complete educational research. Mentorship and a community of practice also emerged as major themes necessary for educational research to be successful.
2017 年 7 月，首届解剖教育研究学会（AERI 2017）在印第安纳州布卢明顿举行。这次研讨会风格的会议将经验丰富的教育研究人员（特邀演讲者）与对该领域感兴趣的人（被接受的申请者）配对。2017 年，AERI 为期五天，包括全体演讲、分组会议和小组指导的特定时间。所有参与者（申请者和特邀演讲者）在研究所开始时完成了会前调查，在研究所结束时完成了会后调查。这两个调查都包括分类和李克特量表问题以及参与者反馈的开放式问题。定量和定性分析表明，申请者和演讲者都增加了对解剖教育研究的了解，但仍然存在一些障碍。资金、时间和对该领域的缺乏尊重仍然是希望完成教育研究的教师面临的问题。指导和实践社区也成为教育研究成功的重要主题。
