  • Equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression focused faculty development

    Qian Wu, Abigail Fisher et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2026

    PURPOSE: As equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression education gains prominence in health professions education (HPE), faculty development programs are increasingly tasked with addressing systemic inequities and fostering transformative change. Little is known about the principles that guide the development of anti-oppressive faculty development programs, the decisions involved in their creation, or the challenges they face during implem…

  • Toward Trauma-Informed Pedagogy

    Open AccessImaan Zera Kherani, Malika SharmaARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    Increased awareness of the role of power and privilege in medical education demands reevaluation and critical reflection on the role of pimping, both in name and practice. The authors use an intersectional approach to explore the ways in which the term pimping is rooted in sexist, racist, and classist stereotypes. In using this term to describe a pedagogical approach rooted in hierarchical power and stark knowledge differentials, the medical comm…

  • Women in Medicine

    Malika Sharma, Shail RawalARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    In the 21st century, more than ever before, issues facing women in medicine, such as pay equity and workplace harassment, are being explored and attended to by physicians and health care institutions. Discussions about women in medicine almost exclusively center around women physicians, even though most women in medicine are, in fact, not physicians. In addition, these discussions typically focus on gender, often failing to consider how race, cla…

  • Peer simulation

    Open AccessMalika SharmaARTICLEMedical Education2020

    Having peers simulate patient cases may have educational value, but how do we do so in a way that is thoughtful and equitable? Sharma asks such critical questions for curriculum developers

  • Teaching the Social Determinants of Health

    Malika Sharma, Andrew D Pinto et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2018

    Medical schools are increasingly called to include social responsibility in their mandates. As such, they are focusing their attention on the social determinants of health (SDOH) as key drivers in the health of the patients and communities they serve. However, underlying this emphasis on the SDOH is the assumption that teaching medical students about the SDOH will lead future physicians to take action to help achieve health equity. There is littl…

  • The role of people living with HIV as patient instructors – reducing stigma and improving interest around HIV care among medical students

    Denise Jaworsky, Sandra Gardner et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    People living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) are increasingly recognized as experts in HIV and their own health. We developed a simulated clinical encounter (SCE) in which medical students provided HIV pre- and post-test counselling and point-of-care HIV testing for PHAs as patient instructors (PHA-PIs) under clinical preceptor supervision. The study assessed the acceptability of this teaching tool with a focus on assessing impact on HIV-related stigma amo…

  • An agent–vector–host–environment model for controlling small arms and light weapons

    Andrew D Pinto, Malika Sharma et al.ARTICLEMedicine Conflict & Survival2011

    Armed violence is a significant public health problem. It results in fatal and non-fatal injuries and disrupts social and economic processes that are essential to the health of individuals and communities. We argue that an agent-vector-host-environment model can be helpful in understanding and describing the availability and misuse of small arms and light weapons. Moreover, such a model can assist in identifying potential control points and in de…
