This year marks the 60th anniversary (1961-2021) of Research in Medical Education (RIME). Over the past 6 decades, RIME has selected medical education research to be presented each year at the Association of American Medical Colleges Annual Meeting: Learn Serve Lead and published in a supplement of Academic Medicine. In this article, the authors surveyed RIME chairs from the past 20 years to identify ways that RIME has advanced medical education research and to generate ideas for future directions. RIME chairs described advancements in the rigor and impact of RIME research and the timeliness of the topics, often serving as a driver for cutting-edge research. They highlighted RIME's role in promoting qualitative research, introducing new epistemologies, and encouraging networking as a means of career advancement. Going forward, RIME chairs suggested (1) strengthening collaborations with formal advanced MEd and PhD degree programs, (2) creating formal mentorship channels for junior and minority faculty, and (3) promoting research related to knowledge translation.
今年是医学教育研究（RIME）成立 60 周年（1961-2021）。在过去的 60 年里，RIME 每年都会选择医学教育研究在美国医学院协会年会：学习服务领导（Association of American Medical Colleges Annual Meeting: Learn Serve Lead）上展示，并在《学术医学》（Academic Medicine）的增刊上发表。在这篇文章中，作者调查了过去 20 年的 RIME 主席，以确定 RIME 推进医学教育研究的方式，并为未来的方向提出想法。RIME 主席们描述了 RIME 研究的严谨性和影响力以及主题的及时性方面的进展，这些研究通常是前沿研究的驱动力。他们强调了 RIME 在促进定性研究、引入新认识论以及鼓励网络作为职业发展手段方面的作用。展望未来，RIME 主席们建议：（1）加强与正规高级 MEd 和 PhD 学位课程的合作；（2）为初级和少数族裔教员创建正式的指导渠道；（3）促进与知识转化相关的研究。
