Why Do We Write Medical Education Research Papers? A Narrative of a Retired Doctor / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

Why do we write medical education research papers and present them at academic conferences? Why do you read medical education research papers and listen to presentations at academic conferences? Medical education is often practiced in a closed space such as a lecture room, where there is a clear power dynamic such as <teacher / supervisor> and <medical student / resident>. In this paper, we will focus on power structure and develop an argument about the significance of educational case reports in medical education research from the epistemological standpoint of critical theory structure.
