A thick description of love’s contours for health professions education
The role of medical residents’ peer networks in clinical decision making
INTRODUCTION: The literature exploring how and why medical residents seek clinical advice has centered the formal resident-supervisor relationship, with the informal role of peers remaining underexplored. METHOD: Using constructivist grounded theory (CGT) methodology, we purposively sampled Internal Medicine/General Internal Medicine residents from a Canadian medical school from April-June 2023. We conducted semi-structured interviews, exploring …
Core Competencies for Students Entering Medical School
A socially accountable physician workforce must include disabled learners and providers. However, current Canadian Technical Standards (TS) for medical school admissions create barriers to their inclusion. These standards overlook advances in assistive technology, universal design, evolving inclusion practices, and legal protections. Replacing the TS required consensus, but traditional methods of achieving consensus on disability inclusion risk r…
Is There a Problem With Evidence in Health Professions Education
What constitutes evidence, what value evidence has, and how the needs of knowledge producers and those who consume this knowledge might be better aligned are questions that continue to challenge the health sciences. In health professions education (HPE), debates on these questions have ebbed and flowed with little sense of resolution or progress. In this article, the authors explore whether there is a problem with evidence in HPE using thought ex…

Ethical issues experienced by persons with rheumatoid arthritis in a wearable‐enabled physical activity intervention study
INTRODUCTION: Using wearables to self-monitor physical activity is a promising approach to support arthritis self-management. Little is known, however, about the context in which ethical issues may be experienced when using a wearable in self-management. We used a relational ethics lens to better understand how persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience their use of a wearable as part of a physical activity counselling intervention study i…
Students' social networks are diverse, dynamic and deliberate when transitioning to clinical training
Learning in Faculty Development
PURPOSE: Faculty development is increasingly acknowledged as an important aspect of health professions education. Its conceptualization has evolved from an individual skills training activity to contemporary notions that draw on an organizational model. This organizational model recognizes relationships and networks as important mediators of knowledge mobilization. Although such conceptual advancements are critical, we lack empirical evidence and…
Expanding medical expertise
When is curing not sufficient for caring? In this commentary, Nimmon highlights how current models of training can prioritize procedural and diagnostic activities at the expense of supporting healing
Appropriating and asserting power on inflammatory arthritis teams
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic interventions for people with inflammatory arthritis (IA) increasingly involve multidisciplinary teams and strive to foster patient-centred care and shared decision making. Participation in health-care decisions requires patients to assert themselves and negotiate power in encounters with clinicians; however, clinical contexts often afford less authority for patients than clinicians. This disadvantage may inhibit patients'…
I Can Understand Where They're Coming From
Students and clinicians with disabilities are underrepresented in the academic health programs and professional clinical settings. Disability studies foregrounds the unique ways of knowing and being that clinicians with disabilities can offer. Based on a larger grounded theory study of the experiences of students and clinicians with disabilities, this article examines the role that clinicians' abilities to draw on their personal experiences of li…
Understanding Experiences in Hospice
Temporality, occupation, and relationships are identified as discrete factors that impact quality of life for individuals at the end of life and those around them. However, scholars, practitioners, and educators require insights regarding whether and how interactions between these factors shape this quality of life. This study is framed by an understanding that meaning is negotiated between people through social interaction and occupational engag…
Health literacy and chronic disease management
Understanding the nature and impact of health literacy is a priority in health promotion and chronic disease prevention and treatment. Health literacy comprises the application of a broad set of skills to access, comprehend, evaluate, communicate and act on health information for improved health and well-being. A complex concept, it involves multiple participants and is enacted across a wide variety of contexts. Health literacy's complexity has g…
The Relationship between Professional Immigrant Parents’ Underemployment Status and their Children’s Emotional Health and Behavioral Patterns
This study examined the relationship between a stressful life and low economical status due to underemployment among professional immigrants in the Greater Vancouver Area (GVA), and their children’s emotional and behavioural health. Employing a cross-sectional qualitative design, interviews and focus groups were conducted with the target population, and focus groups were held with representatives from immigrant service-provider agencies (key-info…
Health Literacy, Language, and Ethnicity-Related Factors in Newcomer Asthma Patients to Canada
ESL-Speaking Immigrant Women's Disillusions
This article describes a research project that investigated whether language barriers play a part in immigrant women's health decreasing when they move to Canada. The findings are then represented in the form of an ethnodrama entitled "ESL-Speaking Immigrant Women's Disillusions: Voices of Health Care in Canada." I suggest that the play is catalytic because it encourages target audiences to empathize with the silenced voices of ESL-speaking immig…
