The Life-ACE Framework of Building Therapeutic Relationships that Support Recovery in Japanese Community Mental Health
Recovery-oriented practice emphasizes collaborative, person-centered relationships. However, culturally grounded frameworks describing how therapeutic relationships support recovery in Japan remain limited. This study explored the perspectives of Japanese community mental health service users to identify relational components that facilitate recovery and develop a culturally responsive conceptual framework. Using a phenomenological-qualitative de…
Professional identity formation of clinician-educators through contributions to staff development in neonatology
BACKGROUND: Clinician-educators (CEs) play a critical role in improving the quality of healthcare by promoting the staff development (SD) among healthcare professionals. However, little is known about how clinical supervisors transition into CEs through their contribution to SD. METHODS: We employed a constructionist approach to thematic analysis to explore the professional identity formation (PIF) of supervisors as they evolved into CEs by contr…
A leadership Guide to applying the job demands–resources (JD-R) theory for faculty engagement and burnout prevention in health professions education
This AMEE Guide positions the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory as a high-yield leadership framework to protect, motivate, and retain academic faculty in health professions education. Framed around workforce stability and institutional follow-through, the Guide highlights practical methods for leaders, including deans, department chairs, and education directors, to audit workloads, reduce hindering job demands (e.g. administrative overload, rol…
What influences clinical educators’ motivation to teach? A Beme systematic review and framework synthesis based on self-determination theory
Factors influencing the late submission of assignments in a medical university environment
The late submission of assignments by medical students is a chronic problem. Students' characteristics and past academic performances are useful indicators for predicting delays during medical school. However, medical students' perspectives on factors that lead to delays in assignment submission remain unexplored. To address this issue, this study examines the factors that influence the late submission of assignments in a medical university setti…

Developing competencies relating to information science and technology in Japanese undergraduate medical education
In response to the growing expectation and recognized potential for integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into medicine, the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education in Japan incorporated 'the ability to use information science and technology' as a new competency in its 2022 revision. This study aimed to identify specific learning objectives that medical students should achieve to acquire this competency. The research team…
Communication Management Processes of Dentists Providing Healthcare for Migrants with Limited Japanese Proficiency
Low health literacy results in health inequity are linked with poor adherence to medical care. In the globalized Japanese context, the number of migrants with Japanese as a second language is increasing year after year. Since limited Japanese proficiency may pose a greater health risk, dentists are expected to manage cross-cultural communication and provide dental care to foreign patients. This study explored dentists' experiences of treating pat…
Rewarding journeys
International electives are recognized as a high-impact practice in clinical education. However, medical students' actual learning experiences during electives have not been explored fully. Specifically, drawing on language management theory, this exploratory case study investigates students' perceived learning outcomes and the managing processes by which they gained benefits from cross-cultural learning experiences in international electives. Wr…
