Health professions education is a research-based discipline. Conclusive research knowledge is ranked as high level of evidence in evidence-based practice. This study was conducted to develop a model to reach conclusive research knowledge in health professions education.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Methods: </strong>This study was conducted in 2 phases. In the first phase, a qualitative content analysis of the literature was performed, which provided research utilization concepts to design a model. In the second phase, a group of 5 consultants of health professions education designed a preliminary model and revised it to develop an appropriate model for research utilization in health professions education.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Results:</strong> The indicators mentioned in 24 documents were extracted and later categorized into 25 items. Then, 8 concepts emerged, including problem identification, research design and implementation, research reports, research publication, presentation, research access, adoption, and research use. These concepts were arranged to design a model for research utilization in health professions education.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study illustrated a cyclical, spiral, and developmental model to reach conclusive research knowledge. This model emphasizes both primary and secondary research projects to reach conclusive research knowledge.&nbsp; Also, it distinguishes between aligned transfer and cooperative presentation in research knowledge dissemination.&nbsp; This model reveals the importance of the process use in health profession education. Also, it distinguishes between use and misuse of research findings.<br> &nbsp; Medical education, Utilization, Translational medical research, Diffusion of innovation 554 560 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-3866-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Tahereh Changiz changiz@edc.mui.ac.ir 200319475328460064144 200319475328460064144 Yes 1.
