{"title":"Beyond the bedside: A scoping review of the experiences of non‐practising health care professionals in Health Professions Education","authors":"Helen R. Church, Megan E. L. Brown, Lynelle Govender, Deborah Clark","doi":"10.1111/medu.15529","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/medu.15529","url":null,"abstract":"IntroductionThe shortage of educators within Health Professions Education (HPE) threatens the optimal training of the future health care workforce. Furthermore, without recruitment of diverse and skilled faculty, targets to expand the workforce will not be possible. Non‐practising health care professionals offer extensive knowledge and qualifications within health care, without the competing clinical commitments of their clinical academic colleagues, and therefore are ideally positioned to support education and training initiatives. However, the limited available evidence suggests that these individuals face significant challenges transitioning from clinical to academic roles. The purpose of this scoping review is to address the research question ‘What is known about the career experiences of non‐practicing healthcare professionals (defined as individuals with clinical backgrounds who no longer engage in direct patient care) across various professions and internationally, within the field of health professions education?’. To do so, we aim to map the global experiences of non‐practising health care professionals from different specialties and disciplines transitioning to HPE, with a view to both current support strategies that aim to recruit and retain these individuals and fuel future research in this area.MethodsFollowing Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review guidelines, a research question was formulated focussing on exploring the career experiences of non‐practising health care professionals now working in HPE. Searching seven literature databases and grey literature identified 51 articles for analysis. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were utilised to chart and thematically analyse data to identify key themes.ResultsThere has been a rise in publications on this topic, with most studies originating from the United States and focusing on nursing. Transition to academia is marked by significant challenges, including identity shifts, renumeration and professional progression tensions, licencing issues and financial concerns. Support systems are crucial to navigating new roles alongside personal/professional development but often lacking.DiscussionThis scoping review highlights challenges and opportunities for non‐practising health care professionals in HPE. Additional support for making the transition to education, including structured onboarding processes and long‐term mentoring relationships, would be beneficial. Recognising the liminal space these professionals occupy might also facilitate more effective integration into academic roles, contributing to a more dynamic and inclusive HPE environment. Future research should explore these experiences from broader professional and geographical perspectives and employ an intersectional approach to fully understand and support this growing demographic in our field.","PeriodicalId":18370,"journal":{"name":"Medical Education","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266424","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}

Instead of juxtaposing our views from three countries, we combine our perspectives to advocate for inclusive assessment.DiscussionCreating an inclusive assessment culture is important for equitable education, even if priorities for inclusion might differ between contexts. We recognise challenges in the enactment of inclusive assessment, namely, the notion of lowering standards, harming reliability and robustness of assessment design and inclusion as a poorly defined and catchall term. Importantly, the lack of awareness that inclusion means recognising intersectionality is a barrier for well‐designed inclusive assessments. This is why we offer considerations for HPE practitioners that can guide towards a unified direction of travel for inclusive assessments. This article highlights the importance of contextual prioritisation and initiatives to be considered at the global level to national, institutional, programme and the individual level. Utilising experience and literature from undergraduate, higher education contexts, we offer considerations with applicability across the assessment continuum.ContextIn this state of science paper, we were set the challenge of providing cross‐cultural viewpoints on inclusive assessment. In this discursive article, we focus on inclusive assessment within undergraduate health professions education whilst looking to the wider higher education literature, since institutional policies and procedures frequently drive assessment decisions and influence the environment in which they occur. We explore our experiences of working in inclusive assessment, with the aim of bridging and enhancing practices of inclusive assessments for HPE. Unlike other articles that juxtapose views, we all come from the perspective of supporting inclusive assessment.We begin with a discussion on what inclusive assessment is and then describe our contexts as a basis for understanding differences and broadening conversations.

As a result, medical graduates reported feeling unprepared to engage in difficult conversations with parents of paediatric cancer patients. Anticipatory grief (AG), referring to the emotional upheaval that families face upon realising impending, irrevocable death of their loved ones, are particularly daunting to family caregivers of terminally ill children. Most recently, ‘grief literacy’ has been increasingly recognised globally as a new competence referring to healthcare practitioners' responsiveness in identifying signs of grief and in supporting bereaved families. In this connection, I embedded a novel grief literacy training into a medical humanities curriculum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;‘That Dragon, Cancer’(2016)&lt;/i&gt; is an award-winning, point-and-click, immersive video game created by two bereaved parents Ryan and Amy Green in real life, using visual metaphors, autobiographical voice-over, archival recordings to vividly re-tell their lived experience of losing their 5-year-old son to Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT), a horribly aggressive brain cancer. Vignettes from this game have been appraised by medical journals such as JAMA for ringing true to complexities of families' emotions in clinical realities. Although nothing replaces true-life clinical exposure and role modelling in shaping students' professional attitudes and moral values, I sought to harness the potential of this novel modality for enhancing medical students' grief literacy of anticipatory grief in end-of-life care, by pairing the immersive experience with a tool adapted from design thinking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2022–2024, 51 year-2 MBBS students participated in our 2.5-hour face-to-face workshop comprising a mini-lecture introducing AG in end-of-life settings, followed by a 50-minute, five-part, in-class immersive experience for students to synchronously walk through our carefully selected vignettes from ‘That Dragon, Cancer’. I focused on two critical junctures, namely (i) ‘relocation to hospice’ and (ii) ‘cessation of eating and drinking’, turning points in caring for a terminally ill where literature showed family caregivers would experience the most intense psychological pain. My pedagogical decision for students to collectively go through the immersive video game, as a group and in the same classroom, was informed by Mitchell et al.'s&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; experimental studies which found that collectively attending to others' narratives of pain in virtual contexts could promote cohesion and interpersonal closeness among participants through perceived emotional synchrony.

Whereas Kane's original four inference model commences with scoring,&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; the expanded seven inference model as described in this issue by Dai et al.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in LTA commences with a domain description.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The goal of the domain description is to ensure that the ‘selection, design and delivery of the test tasks takes the relevant target domain into account’.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Described sources of backing for this inference include interviews or surveys of domain insiders. Starting with a domain description should provide a solid foundation for subsequent inferences made about the assessment but also begs the question of who are considered domain insiders. And whether insights from diverse groups with insider perspectives can together build a more robust and nuanced validity argument. Returning to the analogy of the lawyer's decision-making processes, there may be multiple witnesses with evidence to share, but which witnesses are called upon to provide evidence in court? Or alternatively, which witnesses are not selected out of concern that their differing perspectives may threaten the lawyer's plan for the case?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Domain insiders could be considered ‘expert witnesses’, that is, those with subject matter expertise typically built through education and professional experience, such as health professions educators with clinical and/or pedagogical expertise. While subject matter expertise is important to understanding whether assessment tasks sufficiently reflect the domain being assessed, potential differences between expert and novice (i.e., student) understandings of a domain could disrupt a validity argument.

For example, some schools found themselves increasingly subjected to local and extra-local rule systems.

With the increased adoption of EHRs, the volume of material getting routed to clinician inboxes has increased, making this task ever more challenging. No clear standards exist for how to teach inbox management to trainees such as medical residents. Internal medicine residents report challenges with inbox management and cite it as a source of frustration. Not all faculty are facile with the EHR and prepared to teach this topic to learners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To address this problem, our institution created a support infrastructure to guide residents in inbox management. In addition to pre-clinic conference sessions teaching inbox management to learners, we created a series of screen-casted videos to demonstrate to residents how to perform various inbox management tasks. For these videos, we used a training environment in our EHR with faculty voice-over guidance to explain how to perform various tasks while displaying task completion in real time on the screen. These videos covered various topics including managing results, patient calls and prescription refill requests, to name a few. We housed the videos on the password-protected website that contains reference material and resources for all residency rotations to protect proprietary EHR information. In subsequent years, we expanded video use with incorporation of the videos into pre-clinic conference teaching sessions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In prior years, teaching on EHR navigation had been done by any faculty member supervising in resident clinic, regardless of their own degree of skill in navigating the EHR used primarily by residents. While this allowed for flexibility in the teaching schedule, the teaching may have been suboptimal if done by someone with less EHR experience. It also created the potential for inconsistencies in expectations since different faculty teachers may have presented material and expectations slightly differently. The creation of videos allowed us to use this material both for on-demand reference and for formal teaching sessions. During teaching sessions, faculty play the videos and facilitate a discussion with residents while further honing their own EHR skills such that they become better positioned to guide residents in EHR navigation during clinic sessions. Using the videos in our teaching has created greater uniformity of expectations which is essential for skills like EHR use and documentation. Despite the high quality of the videos and feedback on their utility, residents often forgot they existed and rarely accessed them on their own without prompting. This makes it essential to re-visit material in formal teaching or to disseminate reminders regarding the availability of useful reference material. Additionally, with frequent updates to the EHR, it is important to re-visit and update content on a regular basis to ensure material presented remains up to date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p","PeriodicalId":18370,"journal":{"name":"Medical Education","volume":"58 11","pages":"1410-1411"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/medu.15521","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142140504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
