Everybody hurts
The peer review process supports authors by providing feedback on manuscripts from external, expert readers. However, not all reviews are supportive. Some reviews are just painful. But just how painful are they? In this study, we set out to validate a matrix describing the levels of pain authors experience in response to the sting of peer reviewer comments. The study was carried out in two phases. In Phase 1, we developed a matrix combining two s…

How to incorporate theory in qualitative research
An important hallmark of rigorous research in Health Professions Education (HPE) research is the use of theory. There are many ways to use theory in qualitative research, and so being a savvy user of theory in such research can be a difficult goal for researchers to obtain. Therefore, this AMEE Guide aims to assist (novice) HPE researchers in navigating theory-use in qualitative research by: (a) articulating what theory is; (b) describing why res…
Qualitative research interviews for health professions education
Research interviews are widely used in qualitative health professions education (HPE) research. However, producing rich interview data that address a researcher's aims is no easy feat. Based on methodological guidance from multiple disciplines and our own experience as qualitative researchers, educators, and mentors in HPE, this AMEE guide discusses the purpose of and approach to qualitative research interviews and provides comprehensive guidance…
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…

Moving Beyond Static, Individualistic Approaches to Agency
with each learner charged with taking responsibility to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. This conceptualization is problematic. First, collaboration is a central component of patient care, which does not align well with an individualistic approach. Second, a growing body of literature documents how minoritized and marginalized trainees experience inequitable restrictions on their agency. Third, a myriad of structures across medicine restri…

Demonstrating causality, bestowing honours, and contributing to the arms race
As the field of health professions education (HPE) continues to evolve, it is necessary to occasionally pause and reflect on the potential effects and outcomes of our research practices. While future‐casting does not guarantee that impending negative consequences will be evaded, the exercise can help us avoid pitfalls. In this paper, we reflect on two terms that have taken hold as powerful idols in HPE research that stand above questioning and ap…

Using framework analysis methods for qualitative research
Framework analysis methods (FAMs) are structured approaches to qualitative data analysis that originally stem from large-scale policy research. A defining feature of FAMs is the development and application of a matrix-based analytical framework. These methods can be used across research paradigms and are thus particularly useful tools in the health professions education (HPE) researcher's toolbox. Despite their utility, FAMs are not frequently us…
Shame at the Gates of Medicine
Professional identity struggle and ideology
Dismantling medical education’s incompatible ideology
More than anything, I care about people. I am concerned about how the practices, structures, values, and ways of thinking embedded in medical education—i.e. our ideology—shape the experiences of people who work in our field. Despite being largely blind to its effects, ideology is powerfully at play in medical education—creating social identities, generating relationship patterns, justifying specific conduct, and maintaining and reproducing social…

How argumentation theory can inform assessment validity
A practical guide to reflexivity in qualitative research
Qualitative research relies on nuanced judgements that require researcher reflexivity, yet reflexivity is often addressed superficially or overlooked completely during the research process. In this AMEE Guide, we define reflexivity as a set of continuous, collaborative, and multifaceted practices through which researchers self-consciously critique, appraise, and evaluate how their subjectivity and context influence the research processes. We fram…
Learner Handover
PURPOSE: Learner handover is the sharing of information about learners between faculty supervisors. Learner handover can support longitudinal assessment in rotation-based systems, but there are concerns that the practice could bias future assessments or stigmatize struggling learners. Because successful implementation relies on an understanding of existing practices and beliefs, the purpose of this study was to explore how faculty perceive and en…

Choosing a Qualitative Research Approach
Educators often pose questions about qualitative research. For example, a program director might say: “I collect data from my residents about their learning experiences in a new longitudinal clinical rotation. If I want to know about their learning experiences, should I use qualitative methods? I have been told that there are many approaches from which to choose. Someone suggested that I use grounded theory, but how do I know this is the best app…
Shedding the cobra effect
CONTEXT: Qualitative research is widely accepted as a legitimate approach to inquiry in health professions education (HPE). To secure this status, qualitative researchers have developed a variety of strategies (e.g. reliance on post-positivist qualitative methodologies, use of different rhetorical techniques, etc.) to facilitate the acceptance of their research methodologies and methods by the HPE community. Although these strategies have support…
Using consensus group methods such as Delphi and Nominal Group in medical education research
Consensus group methods are widely used in research to identify and measure areas where incomplete evidence exists for decision-making. Despite their widespread use, these methods are often inconsistently used and reported. Using examples from the three most commonly used methods, the Delphi, Nominal Group and RAND/UCLA; this paper and associated Guide aim to describe these methods and to highlight common weaknesses in methodology and reporting. …
How phenomenology can help us learn from the experiences of others
Introduction As a research methodology, phenomenology is uniquely positioned to help health professions education (HPE) scholars learn from the experiences of others. Phenomenology is a form of qualitative research that focuses on the study of an individual’s lived experiences within the world. Although it is a powerful approach for inquiry, the nature of this methodology is often intimidating to HPE researchers. This article aims to explain phen…
The Distinctions Between Theory, Theoretical Framework, and Conceptual Framework
Health professions education (HPE) researchers are regularly asked to articulate their use of theory, theoretical frameworks, and conceptual frameworks in their research. However, all too often, these words are used interchangeably or without a clear understanding of the differences between these concepts. Further problematizing this situation is the fact that theory , theoretical framework , and conceptual framework are terms that are used in di…
Being Edgy in Health Professions Education
The philosophy of science is concerned with what science is, its conceptual framing and underlying logic, and its ability to generate meaningful and useful knowledge. To that end, concepts such as ontology (what exists and in what way), epistemology (the knowledge we use or generate), and axiology (the value of things) are important if somewhat neglected topics in health professions education scholarship. In an attempt to address this gap, Academ…

Philosophy of Science Series
Health professions education (HPE) researchers come from many different academic traditions, from psychology to engineering to rhetoric. Trained in these traditions, HPE researchers engage in science and the building of new knowledge from different paradigmatic orientations. Collaborating across these traditions is particularly generative, a phenomenon the authors call the multidisciplinary edge effect . However, to harness this productivity, sch…
Years Later
PURPOSE: Internationally, health professions education scholarship units (HPESUs) are often developed to promote engagement in educational scholarship, yet little is known about how HPESUs change over time or what factors support their longevity. In hopes of helping HPESUs thrive, this study explored factors that shaped the evolution of 8 HPESUs over the past 14 years. METHOD: This study involved retrospective case-study analysis of the 8 America…

Thematic analysis of qualitative data
Thematic analysis is a widely used, yet often misunderstood, method of qualitative data analysis. It is a useful and accessible tool for qualitative researchers, but confusion regarding the method’s philosophical underpinnings and imprecision in how it has been described have complicated its use and acceptance among researchers. In this Guide, we outline what thematic analysis is, positioning it in relation to other methods of qualitative analysi…

Sound Practices
PURPOSE: Written examinations such as multiple-choice question (MCQ) exams are a key assessment strategy in health professions education (HPE), frequently used to provide feedback, to determine competency, or for licensure decisions. However, traditional psychometric approaches for monitoring the quality of written exams, defined as items that are discriminant and contribute to increase the overall reliability and validity of the exam scores, usu…
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…

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…
