Feasibility, usability, and acceptability of the asynchronous trauma-focused Care training program for healthcare providers
Beyond intentions
As medical schools rapidly expand worldwide, accreditation has become a key mechanism for ensuring and improving the quality of medical education. However, its effectiveness remains unclear due to conflicting research results and limited empirical evidence. Therefore, the aim of this critical narrative review is to synthesize and analyze the intended (planned) and unintended (emergent) impacts of medical school accreditation. We conducted a criti…
Redefining social accountability for medical schools – beyond codes and contracts to measuring contributions
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined 'social accountability for medical schools' in 1995; yet 30 years later, many remain concerned that medical schools are not living up to societal expectations. In this article, we first place the WHO's definition into historical context, then we contrast the WHO social 'contract', where schools are expected to demonstrate value for money, with the more altruistic 'code' that had been put forward previou…
Accreditation science—the need for evidence to guide the global expansion of medical education accreditation
Accreditation systems create and enforce the rules for medical education. When accreditors expand their scope or change their standards or protocols, every medical school they regulate must change, with lasting impacts on large numbers of graduating physicians. Because the accreditation of undergraduate medical education (UME) has become globally accepted and widespread, one may assume it is supported by strong evidence. Such is not the case. Thi…
Global research agenda for medical education regulation
BACKGROUND: Although medical education regulation is widely practised and given substantial resource and priority by policymakers and leaders, there is little empirical evidence to support it or guide regulation practices at an international level. In recent years, international and cross-border accreditation systems have gained prominence, often linked to migratory opportunities for graduating physicians. Given the high-stakes nature of regulati…
To prove or improve? Examining how paradoxical tensions shape evaluation practices in accreditation contexts
Power/knowledge
Disjointed Times in “Climate-Smart” Amazonia
What does it mean to resort to neoliberal environmental approaches to heal the socio-ecological devastation wrought by fascistic forces? In Brazil extremist right-wing efforts to impose sovereign state rule over Amazonia have resulted in rampant deforestation, violence against forest peoples, and a catastrophic COVID-19 pandemic. Some environmentalists suggest that escaping such devastation means returning to previous neoliberal policies such as …
Cultivating Alternatives to Authoritarian Populism in Amazonia
Um movimento de extrema direita que promete refazer as políticas rurais para beneficiar uma minoria de "produtores" conquistou a presidência do Brasil em 2018 com o apoio da maioria do eleitorado do sul da Amazônia. Lá, por muito tempo as elites políticas argumentaram que os produtores são representantes do interesse nacional. Esse argumento é uma questão multiespécies na medida em que "produtores" só podem argumentar que são "o povo" porque tem …
Climate Politics in the Anthropocene and Environmentalism Beyond Nature and Culture in Brazilian Amazonia
This article examines the work of a group of scientists who contributed to influential climate policy approaches while taking part in groundbreaking research on climate transformations. The scientists promoted a policy approach known as REDD+, which was designed to slow climate change by paying forest landholders to not cut their forests. These scientists also made important contributions to the science of the Anthropocene, which is premised on t…
