Abstract
The academic medicine community has experienced an unprecedented level of disruption in recent years. In this context, the authors consider how the disruptions have impacted the state of research in medical education (RIME). The articles in this year's RIME supplement reflect several constructive tensions that provide insight on future for the field. In this commentary, the authors discuss themes and propose a framework for the future. Recommendations include: normalizing help seeking during times of disruption and uncertainty, contextualizing the application of complex approaches to assessment, advancing and problematizing innovation, and recognizing the deeply embedded and systemic nature of inequities.
