- Abstract: Collaboration with nonmedical researchers offers the potential for members of the Japan Society for Medical Education to enrich their academic and educational activities. Since medical education after ten years needs more nonmedical knowledge, it is necessary to enhance collaboration with nonmedical researchers in more diverse fields. It is possible to consider various ways of collaboration including collaborative research on medical education and collaborative development of educational programs and materials. To promote collaboration, it is necessary to enhance communication between health professionals and nonmedical researchers by constructing a system that allows nonmedical researchers to participate in these activities more easily, by setting up liaison persons within nonmedical disciplines, and by interdisciplinary healthcare education. Collaboration among nonmedical researchers who are interested in medical education is needed as well.
