The use of arts and humanities as an educational approach to addressing anti-Indigenous racism and discrimination in health systems
Arts and humanities have been used for a variety of purposes in health professions education, from mastering skills to social advocacy. Little is known about how this transformative potential is harnessed within Indigenous-focused health curricula. As such, this study aimed to investigate the application of arts and humanities within Indigenous-specific educational programming in health professions. A scoping review was conducted to identify how …
The burden of grief
Coping with loss is an unfortunate reality faced by healthcare professionals, and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this challenge for those who worked on the frontlines. Our scoping review aimed to comprehensively map the existing literature pertaining to the experiences of grief among nurses and physicians in the context of the pandemic. Six bibliographic databases were searched in 2022, and a targeted search of gray literature and citation cha…
Twelve tips for maximizing the potential of reflective writing in medical education
Reflective writing (RW) is a popular tool in medical education, but it is being used in ways that fail to maximize its potential. Literature in the field focuses on why RW is used – that is to develop, assess, and remediate learner competencies – but less so on how to use it effectively. The emerging literature on how to integrate RW in medical education is haphazard, scattered and, at times, reductionist. We need a synthesis to translate this li…

BACKGROUND: While many medical schools utilize the Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) to help select a diverse student body, we know little about MMI assessors' roles. Do MMI assessors carry unique insights on widening access (WA) to medical school? Herein we discuss the hidden expertise and insights that assessors contribute to the conversation around WA. METHODS: Ten MMI assessors (1-10 years' experience) participated in semi-structured interviews e…
‘For Youth by Youth’
BACKGROUND: Integrated youth services are an emerging delivery model in Canada that addresses siloed and fragmented youth mental health and other services. Youth engagement is viable for developing integrated youth services when purposefully built. However, it is not always clear how youth are involved in service transformation as decision-makers, and it requires an exploration of how to work with youth authentically and intentionally in the code…
In many voices
As the focus on end-of-life care intensifies, so too does the need to better understand the experiences of patients, caregivers and physicians. Delivering empathetic care requires a shared understanding of illness and its meaning and impact. The narratives of patients, caregivers and physicians each offer a distinct perspective on clinical experiences, yet comparative research is uncommon. This study compares written narratives about end-of-life …
Indigenous men’s pathways to ‘living the right kind of life and walking the right path’ post incarceration in Canada
Indigenous men around the world hold expertise over their own lives. Informed by this perspective, this study centres this experience to better understand what is needed to improve sexual health outcomes among a group of men with a history of incarceration. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Indigenous men with such a history. Through thematic analysis the study identified two major themes: 1) the impacts of systemic oppression; 2)…
