Relationship between learning approach, Bloom ’s taxonomy, and student performance in an undergraduate Human Anatomy course
AbstractResearchers have long been interested in understanding how different learning approaches impact learning outcomes. Learning approaches are often conceptualized as a dichotomy of superficial and deep, and learning outcomes are typically viewed on a cognitive scale that ranges from lower- to higher-order. While there appears to be an inherent relationship between learning approach and outcomes where superficial approaches lead to lower-order learning and deep approaches result in higher-order learning, this concept is not well documented. The purpose of this study is to better understand this relationship by evaluati...

Do students ’ personality traits change during medical training? A longitudinal cohort study
AbstractMany medical schools incorporate assessments of personal characteristics, including personality traits, in their selection process. However, little is known about whether changes in personality traits during medical training affect the predictive validity of personality assessments. The present study addressed this issue by examining the stability of personality traits and their predictive validity over a 6-year medical training course. Participants were two cohorts of Swiss medical students (N  = 272, 72% of students admitted to Year 2) from whom we collected demographic data, Swiss medical studies aptitude te...

Clinician educators ’ conceptions of assessment in medical education
AbstractIn pursuing assessment excellence, clinician-educators who design and implement assessment are pivotal. The influence of their assessment practice in university-run licensure exams on student learning has direct implications for future patient care. While teaching practice has been shown to parallel conceptions of teaching, we know too little about conceptions of assessment in medical education to know if this is the case for assessment practice and conceptions of assessment. To explore clinician-educators ’ conceptions of assessment, a phenomenographic study was undertaken. Phenomenography explores conceptions, ...

Selection tools and student diversity in health professions education: a multi-site study
AbstractStudent diversity in health professions education (HPE) can be affected by selection procedures. Little is known about how different selection tools impact student diversity across programs using different combinations of traditional and broadened selection criteria. The present multi-site study examined the chances in selection of subgroups of applicants to HPE undergraduate programs with distinctive selection procedures, and their performance on corresponding selection tools. Probability of selection of subgroups (based on gender, migration background, prior education, parental education) of applicants (N  = ...

Across the Twitter-verse: Is Twitter an equitable tool in academic medicine? A scoping review
AbstractThe goal of this study was  to investigate what is known about the demographic characteristics of Twitter influencers in academic medicine. We conducted a literature search and scoping review exploring the demographic characteristics of Twitter influencers in academic medicine. Included studies evaluated Twitter influence by any metric and reported associated demographic characteristics. There were no date or language restrictions. Data points included metrics of influence, demographics, and study characteristics. From 1656 records, thirteen met inclusion criteria. Influence was variably defined based on followers...

Learning experiences of adaptive experts: a reflexive thematic analysis
AbstractWhilst adaptive experts have well-researched beliefs and attitudes towards learning, what is unclear are the interactions that occur within the learning environment that constitute their learning experiences. The practice of geriatric medicine emphasises the interdisciplinary care of complex frail older adults. Our study sets out to understand the learning experiences of adaptive experts in geriatric medicine by examining how interactions at the intra-personal, inter-personal and organisational levels contributed to the development of adaptive expertise. We conducted an exploratory qualitative study through semi-st...

“It really puts me in a bind”, professionalism dilemmas reported by Chinese residents
This study aimed to develop a checklist for professionalism dilemmas based on a behavior-based professionalism framework and to examine the range and proportion of professionalism dilemmas heard of, witnessed, or experienced by Chinese residents. Mixed methods were used, comprising qualitative (document analysis and focus group interviews) and quantitative (a small-scale questionnaire survey) data. Document analysis summarized professionalism dilemma items from previous publications. For focus group interviews, we used narrative inquiry to explore and make sense of residents ’ experiences and perceptions of professionali...

Which learning experiences support an interprofessional identity? A scoping review
AbstractIn recent years, health professions researchers have suggested that a dual identity that includes both a professional and interprofessional identity is essential to interprofessionality. This scoping review sought to describe the learning experiences that may support the development of an interprofessional identity, providing direction for future research. A scoping review was conducted to identify papers published between 2000 and 2020 that provided empiric evidence to support the impact of planned or spontaneous learning experiences involving two or more healthcare professions that fostered the development of an ...

Identifying and prioritizing educational content from a malpractice claims database for clinical reasoning education in the vocational training of general practitioners
AbstractDiagnostic reasoning is an important topic in General Practitioners ’ (GPs) vocational training. Interestingly, research has paid little attention to the content of the cases used in clinical reasoning education. Malpractice claims of diagnostic errors represent cases that impact patients and that reflect potential knowledge gaps and contextual factors. With this study, we aimed to identify and prioritize educational content from a malpractice claims database in order to improve clinical reasoning education in GP training. With input from various experts in clinical reasoning and diagnostic error, we defined five...

Implicit bias instruction across disciplines related to the social determinants of health: a scoping review
AbstractOne criticism of published curricula addressing implicit bias is that few achieve skill development in implicit bias recognition and management (IBRM). To inform the development of skills-based curricula addressing IBRM, we conducted a scoping review of the literature inquiring, “What interventions exist focused on IBRM in professions related to social determinants of health: education, law, social work, and the health professions inclusive of nursing, allied health professions, and medicine?”Authors searched eight databases for articles published from 2000 to 2020. Inc luded studies: (1) described intervention...

Commentary on Barradell and Bell (2021) —applying a critical lens to the role of students as partners in health professions education: challenges, risks, and potential
AbstractThis commentary is a response to Barradell and Bell ’s (2021) qualitative research synthesis on the role of students as partners (SaP) in health professions education (HPE), which was recently published inAdvances in Health Sciences Education. Through an exploration of some of the challenges and risks of SaP in HPE, the author argues that the uncritical application of SaP carries with it a risk of harm to students and faculty. The commentary ends with suggestions on how the potential of SaP in HPE might be better realized. (Source: Advances in Health Sciences Education)

“Every day that I stay at home, it's another day blaming myself for not being at #Frontline”–Understanding medical students' sacrifices during COVID-19 Pandemic
AbstractCOVID-19 struck the world and stretched the healthcare system and professionals. Medical students engaged in the pandemic effort, making personal and professional sacrifices. However, the impact of these sacrifices on students` professional development is still unknown. We applied constructivist grounded theory to individual audio diaries (total time  = 5h38 min) and interviews (total time = 11h57min) performed with 18 last-year medical students during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. The perspective of making sacrifices caused initial emotional distress in medical students, followed by a neg...
