Impact-Oriented Research Communication in Biomedical Education (104846)
Session: On Demand
Room: Virtual Video Presentation
Presentation Type: Virtual Presentation
Effective research communication is increasingly recognised as a core skill for contemporary researchers. These skills are essential not only for classroom-based activities and engagement with lay audiences, but also for interdisciplinary collaboration, securing research funding, and navigating career transitions. However, science research students often experience difficulty articulating the purpose, relevance, and societal impact of their work in language understandable to non-technical audiences. This case study examines biomedical graduate students’ experiences in developing and delivering a research pitch, as well as creating a social implementation plan, within a compulsory module. The study aimed to identify the challenges students encountered, the coping strategies they employed, the strengths and areas for development they perceived, changes in their confidence over time, and the extent to which social implementation planning influenced their understanding of real-world impact. Qualitative descriptive responses from twelve students suggest that preparing a research-based pitch, alongside formulating a social implementation plan, provided meaningful opportunities to enhance communication competence and deepen students’ appreciation of research impact.
