  • Grave lessons

    Open AccessT R Wyatt, Elizabeth Scarlett et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Health Sciences…2026

    The phrase, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” is an argument for the study of history in medical education and learning lessons conveyed by past events. However, many in our health professions education (HPE) research community may not know how to approach research in this way, thus frequently excluding historical analyses in their work. In this article, we describe how HPE researchers could incorporate a basic histo…

    Introduction Student Promotions Committees (SPCs) are tasked with making life-altering decisions regarding student advancement, remediation, and dismissal.

This study investigates the criteria SPC committees utilize when evaluating student presentations and how these factors influence co…

  • Grim fairy tales of curriculum change in medical education

    Open AccessRachel Ellaway, T R Wyatt et al.ARTICLEMedical Education2026

    Fairy tales play a significant role in shaping cultural norms and adult behaviours. They imprint values and moral norms on children and adults alike by eliciting emotions to characters that uphold or break these norms, and they set standards for socially appropriate behaviour. In this article, we use the fairy tale idiom to retell the story of curriculum change from being an activity in medical education where everyone works together in harmony a…

This situation leads to difficult decisions regarding the use of their time. How these students balance their goals inside and outside of medical school is an under-explored area within medical education research. By illuminating how FiF students decide what noncurricular activities…

  • Centering Justice in Health Professions Education by Owning Limitations of Anti-Bias Checklists

    Open AccessT R Wyatt, Jennifer RandallARTICLEThe AMA Journal of Ethic2024

    This article argues that, although efforts to integrate checklists for assessing bias in educational content represent a sincere effort to address or mitigate harm, such efforts will likely have limited (if any) impact on curricular reform or the actual lived experiences of minoritized students. This is because checklists are not designed for justice-oriented assessment and thus will not create the kind of change needed to transform health profes…
