RESUMO

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to identify whether the incorporation of a combined Patient as teacher (PAT) and arts-based reflection (ABR) program during a surgical clerkship rotation could influence more humanistic perceptions of surgeons, using an innovative evaluation approach. Methods: A novel, single question evaluation tool was created. Third year medical-students were asked to "list the top 5 attributes of a surgeon, in order of perceived importance" both before and after their surgical clerkship rotations and participation in the PAT/ABR program. Attributes identified by students were coded as either "humanistic" or "non-humanistic," which were then analyzed using generalized linear regression models under a Bayesian framework. Results: After participation in the PAT/ABR program, the predicted probability of students ranking a humanistic characteristic as the most important attribute of a surgeon had increased by 17%, and the predicted probability of students ranking a humanistic characteristic amongst their top three attributes for a surgeon had increased by 21%. Conclusion: This innovative evaluative method suggested the success of a combined PAT/ABR program in encouraging a humanistic perspective of surgery and this approach could potentially be explored to evaluate other humanistic education initiatives.


Introduction: L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer si l'introduction d'une nouvelle approche d'évaluation associant la participation de Patients comme enseignants (PCE) à une Réflexion basée sur les arts (RBA) dans un stage d'externat en chirurgie permettait de mieux percevoir les qualités humanistes chez les chirurgiens. Méthodes: Un nouvel outil d'évaluation à question unique a été créé. Des étudiants en troisième année de médecine ont été invités à ''énumérer les cinq principaux attributs d'un chirurgien, par ordre d'importance perçue'', avant et après leur stage d'externat en chirurgie et le programme PCE/RBA. Les attributs identifiés par les étudiants ont été codés comme « humanistes ¼ ou « non humanistes ¼, puis analysés à l'aide de modèles de régression linéaire généralisée dans un cadre bayésien. Résultats: Après leur participation au programme PCE/RBA, la probabilité prédite moyenne que les étudiants classent un trait humaniste comme l'attribut le plus important d'un chirurgien a augmenté de 17 %, et la probabilité prédite que les étudiants classent un trait humaniste parmi les trois premiers attributs d'un chirurgien a augmenté de 21 %. Conclusion: Cette méthode d'évaluation innovante porte à croire que le programme PCE/RBA réussit en effet à favoriser une vision humaniste de la chirurgie. Cette approche peut être explorée pour évaluer d'autres activités de formation axées sur l'humanisme.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: As burnout within medicine escalates, residency programmes should strive to understand how training structures may contribute. Back-up call systems that address gaps in overnight resident call coverage are one possible contributing structure. However, the intersection between back-up call policies and burnout remains unclear. The authors explored residents' decision-making process when deciding whether or not to activate a back-up resident for call coverage, perspectives surrounding the legitimacy of call activations and the impact of back-up call systems on education and experienced burnout. METHODS: Internal medicine residents at the University of Toronto were recruited through email. Eighteen semi-structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with residents from September 2019 to February 2020. Interviews explored participants' experiences and perceptions with back-up call and call activations. A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to develop a conceptual understanding of the back-up system as it relates to residents' decisions underlying activations, downstream impacts and relationships to burnout. RESULTS: Residents described a complex thought process when deciding whether to activate back-up. Decisions were coloured by inner conflicts including sense of collegiality, need to maintain an image and time of year balanced against self-reported burnout. Residents described how back-up calls can lead to burnout, usually in the form of exhaustion, lowering their threshold to trigger future back-up activations. Impacts included anxiety of not knowing whether an activation would occur, decreased educational productivity and the 'domino effect' of increased workload for colleagues. DISCUSSION: Residents weigh inner tensions when deciding to activate back-up. Their collective experience suggests that burnout is both a trigger and consequence of back-up calls, creating a cyclical relationship. Escalating rates of call activations may signal that burnout amongst residents is high, warranting educational leads to assess for resident wellness and to critically evaluate the structure of such systems with respect to unintended consequences.

RESUMO

Adaptive expertise (AE) and reflective practice (RP), two influential and resonant theories of professional expertise and practice in their own right, may further benefit health professions education if carefully combined. The current societal and systemic context is primed for both AE and RP. Both bodies of work position practitioners as agentive, learning continually and thoughtfully throughout their careers, particularly in order to manage unprecedented situations well. Similar on the surface, the roots and practices of AE and RP diverge at key junctures and we will focus on RP's movement toward critically reflective practice. The roots of AE and RP, and how they relate to or diverge from present-day applications matter because in health professions education, as in all education, paradigmatic mixing should be undertaken purposefully. This paper will explore the need for AE and RP, their shared commitments, distinctive histories, pedagogical possibilities both individually and combined, and next steps for maximizing their potential to positively impact the field. We argue that this exploration is urgently needed because both AE and RP hold much promise for improving health care and yet employing them optimally-whether alone or together-requires understanding and intent. We build an interprofessional education case situated in long-term care, throughout the paper, to demonstrate the potential that AE and RP might offer to health professions education individually and combined. This exploration comes just in time. Within the realities of uncertain practice emphasized by the pandemic, practitioners were also called to act in response to complex and urgent social movements. A combined AE and RP approach, with focus on critically reflective practice in particular, would potentially prepare professionals to respond effectively, compassionately, and equitably to future health and social crises and challenges.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: While research is beginning to reveal the potential of dialogue in sparking critical reflection (critically reflective ways of seeing), additional research is needed to guide the teaching of critical reflection toward enabling critically reflective practice (critically reflective ways of seeing and doing). An experimental study was conducted to investigate the impact of dialogic learning on critically reflective practice, compared to discussion-based learning. The dialogic intervention integrated the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin with the theory of critical reflection and critical disability studies. METHOD: In interprofessional groups of 4, medical, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology students were randomly assigned to a learning condition that used a reflective discussion or critically reflective dialogue about a pediatric patient case. All participants were then randomly assigned a clinical report for a novel pediatric patient and asked to write a hypothetical clinical letter to the child's school. Hierarchical logistic regression models were constructed to estimate the probabilities of sentences and letters being critically reflective. RESULTS: The probability of sentences being critically reflective was significantly higher for the dialogue condition (0.26, 95% CI [0.2, 0.33]), compared to the discussion condition (0.11, 95% CI [0.07, 0.15]). Likewise, the probability of letters being critically reflective was significantly higher for the dialogue condition (0.26, 95% CI [0.15, 0.4]), compared to the discussion condition (0.04, 95% CI [0.01, 0.16]). In both conditions, the probability of a letter being critically reflective was positively associated with the proportion of critically reflective sentences. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate dialogic learning prepared students to enact critically reflective practice when writing mock clinical letters. Students who participated in a dialogue engaged in a collaborative process of critical reflection and subsequently applied that way of seeing in the individual act of writing a letter. This study highlights how Bakhtin's theory of dialogue can advance critical pedagogy.

RESUMO

Critical reflection supports enactment of the social roles of care, like collaboration and advocacy. We require evidence that links critical teaching approaches to future critically reflective practice. We thus asked: does a theory-informed approach to teaching critical reflection influence what learners talk about (i.e. topics of discussion) and how they talk (i.e. whether they talk in critically reflective ways) during subsequent learning experiences? Pre-clinical students (n = 75) were randomized into control and intervention conditions (8 groups each, of up to 5 interprofessional students). Participants completed an online Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) module, followed by either: a SDoH discussion (control) or critically reflective dialogue (intervention). Participants then experienced a common learning session (homecare curriculum and debrief) as outcome assessment, and another similar session one-week later. Blinded coders coded transcripts for what (topics) was said and how (critically reflective or not). We constructed Bayesian regression models for the probability of meaning units (unique utterances) being coded as particular what codes and as critically reflective or not (how). Groups exposed to the intervention were more likely, in a subsequent learning experience, to talk in a critically reflective manner (how) (0.096 [0.04, 0.15]) about similar content (no meaningful differences in what was said). This difference waned at one-week follow up. We showed experimentally that a particular critical pedagogical approach can make learners' subsequent talk, ways of seeing, more critically reflective even when talking about similar topics. This study offers the field important new options for studying historically challenging-to-evaluate impacts and supports theoretical assertions about the potential of critical pedagogies.

RESUMO

Labour and delivery units often become contested workplaces with tensions between obstetrics, nursing, and midwifery practices. These tensions can impede communication and raise concerns about provider wellness and patient safety. Remedying such tensions requires inquiry into the drivers of recurrent problems in interprofessional practice. We engaged in change-oriented inquiry informed by institutional ethnography (IE) within an academic hospital in Toronto, Canada (2017-2019). Clinicians identified critical incident analysis reports used to document recurrent issues for transfers of care (TOC) and consultations between professionals. We then mapped the everyday/everynight work of midwives, nurses, and obstetricians by observing (75 h) and interviewing them (n = 15). We also traced work processes to local (forms and hospital policies) and external (national policies and evidence-based guidelines) texts. Our IE-informed analysis made visible the otherwise hidden links between the everyday work of practitioners and its social organization. Three intrapartum work processes involving midwives consulting with obstetricians were identified: induction of labour with TOC back to midwife once labour was "active", consultation without TOC, and TOC for various indications. Three points of disjuncture complicated these processes: (i) a local "3 consult rule", linked to medico-legal governance and remuneration structures; (ii) subjective interpretations of the "4-cm dilation rule", a policy meant to standardize practice; and (iii) regulations delaying the timing of consultations. The Electronic Fetal Monitoring system served as a powerful text, materializing issues of professional scope and autonomy for midwives, and medicolegal accountability for obstetricians. Our study extends extant evidence that medicine-driven governance of midwifery practices can perpetuate interprofessional challenges. While practitioners spoke of the three disjunctures as 'laws', most also viewed them as ostensibly modifiable. Interprofessional tensions may be addressed by considering how social organization, materialized in texts detailing medico-legal liability and remuneration, can constrain possible practices through regulatory protocols, local ruling policies, and cultural expectations (e.g., documentation practices).

RESUMO

In this article we introduce a synthesis of education "paradigms," adapted from a multi-disciplinary body of literature and tailored to health professions education (HPE). Each paradigm involves a particular perspective on the purpose of education, the nature of knowledge, what knowledge is valued and included in the curriculum, what it means to learn and how learning is assessed, and the roles of teachers and learners in the learning process. We aim to foster awareness of how these different paradigms look in practice and to illustrate the importance of alignment between teaching, learning and assessment practices with paradigmatic values and assumptions. Finally, we advocate for a pluralistic approach that purposefully and meaningfully integrates paradigms of education, enhancing our ability to drive quality in HPE.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Involving patients in medical education as teachers is not a novel approach, yet it has not been widely adopted by undergraduate surgical curricula in Canada. The Patients as Teachers initiative in surgery (PAT) program, with an arts-based reflection assignment, was developed for surgical clerks with the goals of emphasizing patient-centredness in surgical practice, humanistic aspects of medicine, and to counterbalance the commonplace emphasis on technical competency in surgery. METHODS: Qualitative data was collected exploring the question: What was the experience and impact of the PAT program on patient teachers and students? Patient teachers (n = 5) were invited to participate in one-on-one interviews and students (n = 46) were invited to participate in focus groups at the end of the program. RESULTS: Findings converged around two main themes: what students/patient teachers valued about the PAT program and what they perceived was learned. While patient teachers felt a sense of emotional healing and appreciated a chance to contribute to medical education, students valued having protected time to learn in depth from the patient teachers. Students also begrudgingly came to appreciate the arts-based reflection assignment. CONCLUSION: By bringing patient voice to the forefront and encouraging reflection, the PAT program emphasized to students the compassionate and humanistic side of surgical care. Future studies could examine the mechanisms by which learning occurs and long-term impacts.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgeons face ethical tensions daily, yet ethics education continues to prove challenging. Two possible reasons for these challenges may be the different conceptions of knowledge between technical training vs those that underpin ethical practice, and the potential devaluing of ethics as a focus for education given false assumptions about its inherent nature. This study implemented and evaluated an innovation meant to prioritize and contextualize ethics in surgical learning and practice. STUDY DESIGN: After implementation of Ethics Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) rounds as an educational intervention, a qualitative evaluation consisted of interviews with 12 residents and 9 faculty. Analysis was informed by principles of constructivist grounded theory and the theoretical framework of Habermas' 3 types of knowledge: technical, practical, and emancipatory. For comparative purposes, analysis was conducted of how participants described ethics and ethics education and learning in relation to the traditional ethics teaching model vs the M&Ms. RESULTS: In the traditional model, ethics teaching was seen as disconnected from real life, and not valuable. Within M&Ms, ethics was viewed as integral to practice, engaging, valuable, and relevant. In the traditional model, ethics principles were seen as acquired through role modeling and as a fixed part of character. Within M&Ms, ethics principles were seen as learnable and transformable parts of identity. CONCLUSIONS: Traditional teaching of surgical ethics may result in physicians armed with knowledge, but unable to apply it. Our findings suggest that incorporating ethics into M&Ms allows not only learning the tools of ethics, but the knowledge that ethical principles were becoming integrated into professional identity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Content knowledge surrounding transgender (trans) medicine is currently lacking in the formal medical education curricula. Evidence indicates that the main protocols used to assess and refer trans patients for gender-affirming medicine are misunderstood by health professionals, and require flexible adaptation to achieve health equity and patient-centred care. APPROACH: A free online educational tool for gender-affirming medicine, The Path to Patient-Centred Care, was developed to teach learners how to adapt assessment protocols. Resource creation was supported by a knowledge translation grant that endorsed design thinking, a human-centred and solutions-focused framework recommended for use in curriculum development. EVALUATION: The Path to Patient-Centred Care provides learners with information related to key principles of patient-centred care in gender-affirming medicine, including a guide on how to adapt the main assessment protocols to achieve equitable care. The curriculum also includes narratives from trans patients and health professionals that focus on health equity, and a clinical vignette about a complex case, designed to foster critical thinking on medical ethics. Project future directions involve an implementation and evaluation pilot study with a diverse group of continuing professional development medical learners using a mixed-methods program evaluation design. REFLECTION: The use of design thinking to develop this resource exemplifies a novel approach to curriculum development. By using pedagogical strategies that foster critical reflection, this innovative online education tool strives to teach self-directed learners how to provide care that emphasizes trans people's self-determination and autonomy in medical decision-making.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We rarely teach medical students the skills required to engage in policy change to address the structural factors that underpin the social determinants of health, which are driven by the unequal distribution of power and resources in society. Acquiring the knowledge and skills to influence policy can empower students to act on healthcare inequities rather than simply be aware of them. METHODS: Using Metzl and Hansen's structural competency framework, we designed and piloted an intervention for medical students. Participants attended a workshop, presented to a hypothetical political stakeholder, and wrote anopinion editorial piece. Students participated in a focus group that was audio-recorded and transcribed. We coded and analyzed presentations, editorials, and transcripts to develop a thematic analysis. RESULTS: Nine students participated in the workshop. They chose structural interventions and presented potential solutions to structural barriers in written and oral outputs. Students identified a lack of knowledge about health and political systems as a potential barrier to future advocacy work. CONCLUSION: Medical trainees require training in specific advocacy skills such as oral and written communication, however this alone may be insufficient. As future advocates, trainees must also acquire a specific skill set and associated knowledge about health systems and policy to navigate the systems in which they will practice.


CONTEXTE: Nous enseignons rarement aux étudiants en médecine les habiletésnécessaires pour participer aux changements de politique afin d'aborder les facteurs structurels sous-jacents aux déterminants sociaux de la santé, et la distribution inégale du pouvoir et des ressources dans la société. L'acquisition de connaissances et d'habiletés aptes à influencer les politiques peut encourager les étudiants à s'engagerpour contrer les inégalités en matière de soins de santé plutôt que d'en être simplement conscients. MÉTHODES: À l'aide du cadre de compétence structurelle de Metzl et Hansen, nous avons conçu et pilotéune intervention pour les étudiants en médecine. Les participants ont assisté à un atelier présenté à un décideur politique simulé pour l'occasion, à la suite duquel ilsontrédigé un article d'opinion. Les étudiants ont participé à un groupe de discussion qui a été enregistré et transcrite. Nous avons codifié et analysé les présentations, les articles d'opinion, et les transcriptions pour développer une analyse thématique. RÉSULTATS: Neuf étudiants ont participé à l'atelier. Ils ont choisi des interventions structurelles et présenté des solutions potentielles aux obstacles structurels dans leurs épreuves écrites ou orales. Les étudiants ont indiqué que le manque de connaissances sur le système de santé et le système politique représente un obstacle potentiel au futur travail de défenseur. CONCLUSION: Les stagiaires en médecine ont besoin de formation spécifique sur les habiletés de communication orale et écrite pour se porter à la défense des patients; cependant, cette formation à elle seule peut s'avérer insuffisante. En tant que futurs promoteur de la santé, les stagiaires doivent également acquérir des habiletésspécifiques et des connaissances associées aux systèmes et aux politiques de santé pour naviguer à travers les systèmes dans lequel ils exerceront leur pratique.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Critical reflection may improve health professionals' performance of the social roles of care (eg collaboration) in indeterminate zones of practice that are ambiguous, unique, unstable or value-conflicted. Research must explore critical reflection in practice and how it is developed. In this study, we explored what critical reflection consisted of in a context known for indeterminacy, and to what sources participants attributed their critically reflective insights and approaches. METHODS: The study context was the interface between health care and education for children with chronic conditions or disabilities necessitating health-related recommendations and supports (eg accommodations or equipment) at school. We conducted a secondary analysis of 42 interview transcripts from an institutional ethnographic study involving health professionals, school-based educators and parents of children with chronic conditions or disabilities. We coded all transcripts for instances of critical reflection, moments that seemed to lack but could benefit from critical reflection, and participant-attributed sources of critically reflective insights. RESULTS: Critically reflective practice involved getting to know the other, valuing and leveraging different forms and sources of knowledge, identifying and communicating workarounds (ie strategies to circumvent imperfect systems), seeing inequities, and advocating as collaborators, not adversaries. Participants invariably attributed critically reflective insights to personal experiences such as former careers or close personal relationships. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that personal experiences and connections inspire critically reflective views, and that being critically reflective is not a binary trait possessed (or not) by individuals. It is learnable through personally meaningful experiences. Health professions education could aim to preserve philosophical space for personal experience as a source of learning and integrate evidence-informed approaches to foster critically reflective practice.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Networking is essential to leadership effectiveness in the business context. Yet little is known about leadership networking within the academic health science context. If we are going to train academic leaders, we must first understand the relational, network-based activities of their work. The purpose of this study was to explore how academic health science leaders engage in networking activities in the academic health science context. METHOD: A constructivist grounded theory approach guided our study. The authors interviewed 24 academic health science leaders who were enrolled in the New and Evolving Academic Leadership program at the University of Toronto and used social network mapping as an elicitation method. Interviews, which were conducted between September 2014 and June 2015, explored participants' networks and networking activities. Constant comparative analysis was used to analyze the interviews, with attention paid to identifying key networking activities. RESULTS: Academic health science leaders were found to engage in 4 types of networking activities: role bound, project based, goal/vision informed, and opportunity driven. These 4 types were influenced by participants' conception of their role and their perceived leadership work context, which in turn influenced their sense of agency. CONCLUSIONS: The networking activities identified in this study of academic health science leaders resonate with effective networking activities found in other fields. The findings highlight that these activities can be facilitated by focusing on leaders' perceptions about role and work context. Leadership development should thus attend to these perceptions to encourage effective networking skills.

RESUMO

Educators, practitioners, and policy makers are calling for stronger connections between continuing education (CE) for professionals and the concerns of workplaces where these professionals work. This call for greater alignment is not unique to the health professions. Researchers within the field of higher education have long wrestled with the complexities of aligning professional learning and workplace concerns. In this study, we extend this critical line of inquiry to explore the possible conceptual intersections between two CE programs acting within a single healthcare organization. Both programs are concerned with improving patient care, primarily by changing the ways professionals think and talk with one another. However, the two programs have different historical origins: one in a workplace, the other within a university setting. Introducing the concept of "modes of ordering" as a way to analyze the curricula, we argue the programs are operating through separate logics of learning. We label these two modes of ordering: (1) learning as standardization and (2) learning as identification. Through our discussion, we explore how these different modes demand different roles for educators and participants. Ultimately, we argue that both have value. However, we also argue that educators require conceptual tools to sensitize them to the possibility of competing logics of learning and the subsequent implications for their practice as educators. In conclusion, we offer the metaphor of CE educator as choreographer, connecting concepts and practices within these logics in productive ways while continually navigating the various learning imperatives acting on professionals at any given time.

RESUMO

Evidenced by leading journals in academic medicine, health professions education has taken up the call to advance equitable healthcare. One pressing area where gaps and inequities are apparent is transgender (trans) people's access to gender-affirming medicine such as hormones and surgeries. Reasons for the dire state of care include education gaps. While specific content knowledge has been identified as lacking in medical school curricula, less research has focused on the complex social practices required of clinicians and educators working in gender-affirming medicine, and how these skills are learned through practice. In order to inform health professions education in this key area of need, we conducted a study to better understand the social practices, and the learning that occurs therein, of gender-affirming medicine. We identified the work processes of 22 clinicians, clinician-educators, trans patients, and clinical care administrators with attention to how policies and protocols influenced practice, learning, and teaching. The results of our study elucidate: (1) that practicing of gender-affirming medicine is strictly dictated by standardized assessment protocols, which serve as a form of curriculum; and (2) how health professionals learn and teach health advocacy as a form of resistance to protocols identified as creating inequities. These findings suggest an opportunity to view protocols-and their inherent limitations-more deliberately as teaching and learning tools, specifically for learning advocacy.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Medical education embraces simulation-based education (SBE). However, key SBE features purported to support learning, such as learner safety and learning through experience and error, may not align with the dominant culture of medicine, in which portraying confidence and certainty about one's knowledge prevails. Misaligned conceptions about knowledge and learning may produce unintended negative effects, including the suboptimal implementation of SBE, which could consequently compromise SBE and its outcomes. METHODS: To uncover the epistemological beliefs of students experiencing SBE, we conducted a theory-informed analysis of interviews with 24 pre-clerkship medical students following their participation in an SBE training study. Our analysis borrowed from coding methods common in constructivist grounded theory and used Hofer and Pintrich's four dimensions of epistemology as sensitising concepts. RESULTS: Participants subscribed to a dominant view of knowledge as consisting of concrete facts, derived from external sources. By contrast, they described but did not prioritise a conception of building their own knowledge through different learning experiences. Participants positioned experts (i.e. teaching faculty members) as the ultimate knowledge validators through their presence and feedback. Participants also noted that faculty staff could counter medicine's pressures to perform with certainty and confidence at all times by instead embodying and modelling an authentic appreciation of learning through experiences, errors and discovery. CONCLUSIONS: Medicine's tendency to idealise the objective pursuit of singular truths may compromise the purported culture of SBE as a space for learning many wide-ranging aspects of medicine, including how and when to innovate and deviate from norms. Explicit attempts to bridge the epistemological beliefs of medicine and SBE may better enable the realisation of safe experiential learning. Faculty members are positioned to play key roles in enabling this bridging.
