Small Grants Fund funding recipients receive award for their research from Warwick Medical School
Two students who recently graduated from Warwick Medical School, Tim Williamson and Sarah Spencer, have received the School's annual Pridgeon Gold Medal for Research. This was awarded partly for their work on 'Serious Gaming', a research project supported by a Small Grants Fund award from the Reinvention Centre, and partly for presenting the findings of this research at the 2008 Learning Through Enquiry Alliance (LTEA) Conference in Sheffield and for being members of the Centre's Management Committee at Warwick. They also conducted an international systematic review of medical education.
