Functions, challenges and opportunities of health professions education units in Africa
BACKGROUND: Teaching in Health Professions Education (HPE) is complex, with educators balancing teaching, clinical, and scholarly responsibilities. Medical, nursing, and other health professional schools have created units to move HPE forward. However, little is known about how these units have evolved over the past 15 years. This study explored the landscape of HPE units in Eastern, Southern, and Western Africa, their evolution, functions, chall…

Teacher identity today and tomorrow
INTRODUCTION: Faculty development initiatives designed to strengthen the teacher identity of health professionals engaged in patient care, research, and teaching are being increasingly reported in the literature. As the combination of these different roles remains a challenge, an alternative approach might be to support the development of synergistic or merged identities, in which each role is perceived valuable and can strengthen others. However…
Final‐year students' perspectives on socially responsive curricula in medical education
INTRODUCTION: There is urgency for health professionals to be better prepared to tackle health inequities. Transitioning to responsive and contextually relevant curricula is an important strategy to equip students to be both clinically competent and critically conscious of the contexts in which they provide health care. Although the literature suggests reframing medical education to be responsive, student engagement in this process remains limite…
Mixed‐methods research in medical education
INTRODUCTION: Mixed-methods research (MMR) intentionally combines (variously) theories, study designs, data collection, analyses and/or syntheses associated with more than one approach to research. Despite a rich literature on the theory and practice of MMR, the authors were concerned that much MMR in medical education fell short of the state of the art. To substantiate the problem, the authors conducted a meta-study to explore the strengths and …

When I say … social responsiveness
Hansen et al. grapple with the term "socially responsiveness" to contend that HPE should prioritize questioning the causes of health inequity with a view to transforming systems into socially just spaces
Disentangling faculty development
BACKGROUND: There is wide variation in how faculty development (FD) is practiced globally and described in the literature. This scoping review aims to clarify how FD is conceptualised and practiced in health professions education. METHODOLOGY: Using a systematic search strategy, 418 papers, published between 2015-2023, were included for full text review. We extracted data using closed and open-ended questions. Quantitative data were summarised us…
Setting up and operationalizing a health professions education research (HPER) unit
In the same way as clinical medicine, health professions education should be evidence-based rather than based on tradition and convenience. Health professions education research (HPER), an academic area that first emerged in the 1950s, is essential for identifying new and better ways to educate health professionals. Again, just as with clinical research, setting up sustainable HPER units is critical to coordinate research efforts and facilitate t…
Global research aims for the study of cost and value in health professions education
BACKGROUND: Health professions educators constantly make difficult choices about the allocation of finite resources. However, there is limited sound research available to guide their decision-making. The purpose of this study was to address this gap by establishing international consensus on research aims, considering diverse economic and cultural contexts. METHODS: The authors conducted a three-round Delphi study, engaging an international panel…
Curriculum renewal towards critically conscious graduates
A scoping review of the changing landscape of doctoral education
A scoping review to identify models of doctoral supervision as described in the literature (2000 and 2021) was conducted using Arksey and O’Malley’s six-step framework. Four bibliographic databases generated 2102 potential studies. Further screening identified 81 articles for inclusion. The findings highlight that despite differences in terminology, an international move towards more collaborative and structured approaches is identifiable. Benefi…
Affordances of funding for enhancing scholarship of teaching and learning
Funding has become an established means of promoting the professionalisation of teaching and learning. Various funding schemes in Higher Education have incentivised innovation and research aimed at developing a scholarship of teaching. However, a causal relationship is impossible to prove and the underlying subjective processes of scholarly development are contested. It has been suggested that funding might become another instrument to achieve a …
Hearing the voices of midwives through reflective writing journals
Women attending public and private sector health facilities in Africa have reported abuse and neglect during childbirth, which carries a risk of poor health outcomes. We explored from the midwives’ perspective the influence of an educational intervention in changing the attitudes, behaviour and practices of a group of midwives in Zimbabwe, using transformative learning theory as the conceptual framework. The twelve-week educational intervention m…
What knowledge matters in health professions education
What knowledge matters in health professions education is an issue of debate in the literature, foregrounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and informed by calls for students who are not only clinically competent, but also critically conscious of global health inequity. Building on this work, this paper explores what kinds of knowledge are legitimated in two health science programmes at a South African university. Thirty-four health professions teacher…
What sparks a guide on the side? A qualitative study to explore motivations and approaches of mentors in health professions education
Introduction Despite abundant research emphasising the value of mentoring for healthcare professionals, little is known about what motivates mentors. This study aimed to explore what motivated a group of internationally renowned health professions educators to accept informal, international and mostly online mentoring roles, and their approaches to that mentoring.Methods Using a qualitative approach, we interviewed ten global educational leaders,…
Decolonizing Global Health Education
Global health often entails partnerships between institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that were previously colonized and high-income countries (HICs) that were colonizers. Little attention has been paid to the legacy of former colonial relationships and the influence they have on global health initiatives. There have been recent calls for the decolonization of global health education and the reexamination of assumptions and pr…
Longitudinal integrated clerkships
Redefining scholarship for health professions education
Scholarship is an integral aspect of academia. It shapes the practice of individuals and the field and is often used to inform career progression decisions and policies. This makes it high stakes. Yet it is complex, and ambiguous. Definitions vary and the term does not necessarily translate well across contexts. In this AMEE guide, our aim is to establish a contemporary definition of scholarship which is appropriate to health professions educatio…
Advancing a social justice agenda in health professions education
Health Professions Education (HPE) curricula have a dual purpose: to deliver professionals who are clinically competent and critically conscious of the contexts and health systems they serve. This qualitative study advances a social justice agenda by exploring the range of understandings that HPE teachers have of this dual purpose of their curricula. Thirty-four respondents participated in eleven focus groups and eleven interviews. Data were anal…
Reflections on professional learning
Cutting to the chase
Following the adoption of key national policy, several campaigns aimed at increasing the number of adult males receiving circumcisions have been implemented across South Africa. Evidence as to the likely effectiveness of such interventions comes predominantly from three large randomized-controlled trials. However, little has been written about how these campaigns are perceived by the participants. This is significant given the importance of the s…
