INTRODUCTION: In view of the increasing numbers of older patients with complex health problems, doctors, especially general practitioners, need to learn to provide complex elderly care. This study aimed to ascertain how general practice trainees regulate the process of learning to provide complex elderly care. METHOD: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 GP trainees and five recently graduated GPs at four universities in Bel…
What can tennis doubles teach us about medical dyads? Translating collaborative expertise into medical education
BACKGROUND: Collaborative behaviours in acute care remain inconsistent despite substantial educational investment. Teamwork training often focuses on larger groups, overlooking dyads; the smallest collaborative unit. This study examines high-performing tennis doubles teams and expert medical dyads to identify collaborative behaviours that may inform medical education. METHODS: Using a limited realist perspective approach, we conducted 15 semi-str…
‘My role or not my role?’ Addressing the social determinants of health in medical oncology residency
INTRODUCTION: Addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH) can improve cancer-related outcomes and is widely recognized as integral to patient care. Despite this, little is known about how medical oncology residents perceive their role in addressing SDOH. Understanding their views is important not only because SDOH impact outcomes, but also because residency training should prepare oncologists to respond to evolving societal needs. In this…
Professional identity struggles in healthcare professions education
INTRODUCTION: Professional identity formation in healthcare professions education (HPE) is a complex and often fraught process. Physicians and trainees experience identity struggles as they navigate their personal and professional development, along with the conflicting expectations, cultural norms and systemic pressures within the healthcare environment. Despite growing attention to these challenges, conceptual clarity around identity struggle r…
Rethinking Workplace-Based Assessment
The current practice of workplace-based assessment (WBA) in many health professions education contexts does not live up to the expectations regarding both WBA’s formative (for learning) and summative (for decision-making) potential. In this Scholarly Perspective, the authors argue that the ambition to observe and assess so-called authentic behavior of trainees plays a role in this. According to the literature, for assessments in the workplace to …

Challenges, coping and support during student placement abroad
BACKGROUND: During placements abroad, healthcare students are confronted with different personal and professional challenges, related to participation in practice. This study investigates when and how students respond to such challenges, and which coping and support mechanisms students use to overcome these. METHODS: Twenty-five international students shared their experiences about physiotherapy placement in The Netherlands. Using a critical inci…
Training infectious diseases senior residents during Covid-19
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic had major impact on the training of Infectious Diseases (ID) residents across the globe. They were part of the frontline staff, while at the same time training to be ID physicians. This study focused on identifying their capability, i.e. the ability to adapt existing competencies to new situations, which is now recognised as an essential element of professional practice. AIM: This study explored what ID residents…
Medical Students’ Socialization Tactics When Entering a New Clinical Clerkship
PURPOSE: Socialization into clinical clerkships is difficult in part due to ambiguity around students' new roles and expected behaviors. Being proactive reduces ambiguity and is essential to socialization. Proactive behavior can be taught and goes beyond having a proactive personality. Among students entering new undergraduate clinical clerkships, this study aimed to investigate (1) reported proactive behaviors and their association with social i…
Strangers in a strange land
‘It depends’
PURPOSE: Clinical supervisors acknowledge that they sometimes allow trainees to fail for educational purposes. What remains unknown is how supervisors decide whether to allow failure in a specific instance. Given the high stakes nature of these decisions, such knowledge is necessary to inform conversations about this educationally powerful and clinically delicate phenomenon. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 19 supervisors participated in semi-structured in…
In the “Shadow of Shame”
PURPOSE: Shame occurs when an individual blames a globally flawed self for a negative outcome. Much of the focus on shame in medical education has been directed toward graduate medical education with less recognition paid to shame occurring in medical school. In particular, while research has explored the triggers of medical students' shame, little is known about what shame feels like, what it makes an individual want to do, and what perceived ef…
Supported Independence
PURPOSE: Safe and effective supervised practice requires a negotiated partnership between trainees and their supervisors. Substantial work has explored how supervisors make judgments about trainees' readiness to safely engage in critical professional activities, yet less is known about how trainees leverage the support of supervisors when they perceive themselves to be at the limits of their abilities. The purpose of this study is to explore how …
Stability and Change in the Journeys of Medical Trainees
PURPOSE: It takes many years for trainees to become physicians-so long that their individual journeys through medical school and residency are seldom systematically studied and thus not well understood. Lack of understanding hinders effective support of future physicians' development across traditional time-bound phases of medical education. The authors initiated a longitudinal qualitative study, tracing a cohort of 6 trainees through the same me…

Experiential learning
Whilst much is debated about the importance of experiential learning in curriculum development, the concept only becomes effective if it is applied in an appropriate way. We believe that this effectiveness is directly related to a sound understanding of the theory, supporting the learning. The purpose of this article is to introduce readers to the theories underpinning experiential learning, which are then expanded further in an AMEE Guide, which…
Interprofessional collaboration among care professionals in obstetrical care
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
“I Was Worried About the Patient, but I Wasn’t Feeling Worried”
PURPOSE: Clinical educators often raise concerns that learners are not comfortable with uncertainty in clinical work, yet existing literature provides little insight into practicing clinicians' experiences of comfort when navigating the complex, ill-defined problems pervasive in practice. Exploring clinicians' comfort as they identify and manage uncertainty in practice could help us better support learners through their discomfort. METHOD: Betwee…

An international study of trainee-trained transitions
Background: Throughout their careers, doctors and other healthcare professionals experience numerous transitions. When supporting transitions, opportunities for development and learning should be maximized, while stressors having negative impacts on well-being should be minimized. Building on our international data, this study aimed to develop a conceptual model of the trainee-trained transition (i.e. the significant transitions experienced by do…

Leadership in interprofessional healthcare teams
Healthcare professionals need to be able to collaborate in interprofessional healthcare teams (IHTs). This paper discusses how healthcare professionals (can) contribute to IHT effectiveness. Using cultural historical activity theory and its affiliated concept of knotworking, it argues that healthcare professionals would benefit from developing not just leadership but also followership skills. Moreover, IHT collaborators need the ability to switch…
What happens under the flag of direct observation, and how that matters
INTRODUCTION: In competency-based medical education, direct observation (DO) of residents' skills is scarce, notwithstanding its undisputed importance for credible feedback and assessment. A growing body of research is investigating this discrepancy. Strikingly, in this research, DO as a concrete educational activity tends to remain vague. In this study, we concretised DO of technical skills in postgraduate longitudinal training relationships. ME…
Team member expectations of trainee communicator and collaborator competencies – so shines a good deed in a weary world
BACKGROUND: Workplace-based assessment may be further optimized by drawing upon the perspectives of multiple assessors, including those outside the trainee's discipline. Interprofessional competencies like communication and collaboration are often considered suitable for team input. AIM: We sought to characterize multidisciplinary expectations of communicator and collaborator competency roles. METHODS: We adopted a constructivist grounded theory …
Appraising the use of smartphones and apps when conducting qualitative medical education research
Smartphone use is rampant in everyday life and is increasing in: patient management, teaching and learning of medicine and health research. There is untapped potential to use smartphones as research tools in MER for a range of research approaches. Qualitative research is increasingly common in medical education research (MER). Smartphone use as a research tool has not been well explored in MER and this Guide will be useful to researchers consider…
Initiation of student participation in practice
BACKGROUND: Differences in professional practice might hinder initiation of student participation during international placements, and thereby limit workplace learning. This study explores how healthcare students overcome differences in professional practice during initiation of international placements. METHODS: Twelve first-year physiotherapy students recorded individual audio diaries during the first month of international clinical placement. …
