A community of practice is often thought of as an extended focus group of individuals tied together by a common interest or similar ideas to provide feedback.  Yet, community of practice (CoP) brings together thought leaders who may collaborate around organizational or community change through evaluation exchange. The National Center for Medical Education, Development and Research (NCMEDR) has embraced the community of practice model as a bold strategy for addressing how medical education and medical services are delivered within the context of evidence-based best practices. This workshop offers participants, an opportunity to discuss the framework of a community of practice.
