This paper aims to enrich the dialogue by critically reviewing three distinct orientations toward equity: fairness-oriented assessment, assessment for inclusion and justice-oriented assessment. Each orientation is examined for its unique assumptions, methods and resulting advantages and disadvantages. The authors argue that advancing equity requires educators to clearly identify their orientations, select aligned methods and tools and explore alternative perspectives.</p><p>Kakara Anderson, H, Govaerts, M, Abdulla, L, Balmer, D, Busari, JO, West, D.

Inclusion of volunteer patients is a significant part of preparing students for practice. This qualitative study explored the perspectives of GP tutors regarding recruiting diverse volunteer patients. While participants acknowledge the importance of ensuring medical students have diverse clinical experience, most did not actively think about the diversity of the patients they were recruiting. Instead, they concentrated on course curriculum and teaching requirements. This article offers a range of suggested recommendations and solutions to facilitate the recruitment of diverse patients in medical education.</p><p>Mohammad, M, Tyson, L, Bryant, P, Patel, P, Young, R, Semlyen, J.

It describes how these brief, spontaneous, informal interactions contribute both to developing physician competencies including, but not limited to, collaboration. This learning reflects a complex interplay of individual, social and situated factors, which this review unifies into a cohesive model as well as an illustrative example to help make the theoretical more practical.</p><p>Miller, K, Ilgen, J, de Bruin, A, Pusic, M, Stalmeijer, R.

This variability reflects the lack of a shared conceptual framework to unite feedback practices, theories, findings and recommendations. In this paper, the authors use a recently developed pattern system to compare different models of feedback as a way of building a more united perspective. The authors conducted a comparative case study and framework analysis of 11 feedback models across four categories of feedback (augmented sensorimotor feedback, coaching, audit and feedback and multisource feedback). Each model was analysed to identify which aspects of feedback it addressed, and which were overlooked or excluded. The analysis revealed both divergence and convergence in how feedback models mapped onto the pattern system. Divergence was evident in the variability of elements (pattern representations) across models and diversity in expression and granularity of those elements. Conversely, convergence was observed in recurring clusters of elements, such as Performance measurement, Sensor, Judgement and Assessment, which appeared consistently across categories. Overall, the mapping exercise showed significant variations in how feedback is conceptualized, even within specific subcategories such as \"coaching,\" \"audit and feedback\" and \"multisource feedback.\" These differences have important implications for advancing research and practice in these areas. Pattern theory and pattern mapping offer a promising framework for exploring and addressing the conceptually contested nature of feedback in medical education and may facilitate the future development of a pattern language of feedback.</p>","PeriodicalId":18370,"journal":{"name":"Medical Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143803684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
