The clinical clerkship is a crucial setting for reinforcing and extending SRL skills and behaviors into clinical practice. However, learning in clinical settings is often opportunistic and contextual, requiring diverse instructional strategies and tailored learning opportunities. Studies from the past two decades have indicated challenges in implementing SRL strategies particularly in Asian countries. While many of the pedagogical approaches used in medical education include aspects of SRL theory, a comprehensive overview of effective SRL instructional strategies in clinical clerkships is lacking. We reviewed all studies (published between January 2012 and May 2024, identified <i>via</i> systematic search of EBSCOhost, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science) that discuss instructional strategies influencing SRL among clinical clerkship students, in general, and with special reference to the Asian context. Twenty seven articles were included in the final analysis. We conducted convergent integrated synthesis on the data extracted from all included studies to generate categories and themes. SRL instructional strategies reported included implementing learning plans and goal setting, operationalizing formal mentoring and feedback processes, utilizing technology-enhanced learning, facilitating collaborative group learning, providing simulation-based learning experiences, and applying experiential learning strategies. When implemented effectively, such strategies were shown to promote self-regulated learning, motivational beliefs, self-monitoring, and self-reflection. Faculty support, mentoring and timely feedback were crucial in successfully implementing SRL strategies. Incorporating SRL into existing curricula was ideal for ensuring feasibility and long-term sustainability. Limited research from the Asian region indicates that SRL has not been used to its full potential in Asian medical education. Asian medical students' SRL potential could be maximized with shared roles of students and teachers in a student-driven approach. Medical educators should take responsibility for providing opportunities and a conducive environment to foster SRL among clinical clerkship students. Future research should prioritize longitudinal, experimental studies with comparison groups and objective SRL outcome measures to rigorously evaluate the impact of instructional strategies in the clinical clerkship context.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143493681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a critical review of the literature and interviews with medical educators, representatives of professional organizations, and disability advocates, this article presents promising practices for disability-conscious undergraduate medical education. Disability-conscious education, which is grounded in the insights of disability studies and disability rights and justice frameworks, is distinguished from disability-specific education, which may not extend beyond biomedical models of disability. First, we define current approaches to teaching about disability, highlighting limitations and opportunities for further development. We then identify and analyze approaches to teaching about disability that support the development of disability consciousness among learners.

We suggest that Critical Pedagogy, an educational movement rooted in Brazil that aims to empower learners and educators as full citizens, can help medical education reinstitute hope for a more humanistic culture by testing new realistic transformative actions, i.e., untested feasibilities, to promote change. We use vignettes based on real situations of oppression to present three concepts of Critical Pedagogy contextualized to medical education: (a) critical consciousness as <i>praxis</i>; (b) pedagogy with learners; and (c) education as a democratic relationship between individuals. The vignettes explore how each one of these concepts can support educators and learners to break chains of injustice and oppression. Perceiving disagreements as opportunities for change, legitimizing the perspectives and values of all engaged in analyzing reality, is needed to nurture critical consciousness. Critical Pedagogy understands education as a partnership of trust between learners and educators and seeks a pedagogy that is built with learners, not on them.

Representation of SGM individuals within medical schools may improve the delivery of more equitable healthcare through reducing biases and normalizing SGM presence within healthcare spaces. <b><i>Approach:</i></b> Our initial aim was to explore the extent to which role models may influence personal SGM identities within medical schools in the United Kingdom, using an interpretative phenomenological approach. This methodology allowed us to develop meaning from, and give voice to participants' relationship with their bespoke experiences, respecting differing narratives within the broad 'SGM' umbrella, rather than attempting to establish commonalities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five medical students and three medical school faculty within three medical schools, who identified as SGM. Due to a lack of gender minority identifying participants, we unfortunately could not adequately speak to their experiences, and therefore narrowed our eventual focus to sexual minority (SM) individuals. <b><i>Findings:</i></b> The developed themes followed a cyclical process of: (1) role model identification; (2) role model selection, influenced by matched wider identities including generation, hierarchy and power; (3) trait assimilation, particularly where identity deficits were perceived; and (4) identity projection, where students used role models to both emulate comfortable SM identity projection, and become advocatory role models themselves. Throughout, participants described role models as multifaceted in their direction (vertical and horizontal), influence (positive and negative) and locus of effect (as individuals, and as part of a collective). Unexpectedly, identity, power, and hierarchy-matching meant peer-to-peer role modeling was often experienced more positively than vertical faculty-to-student role modeling. However, as expected, heteronormativity exerted an inhibitory effect on this process. <b><i>Insights:</i></b> We built upon existing social cognitive paradigms to develop a 'double-funnel' model to represent how social contexts can map onto individual SM identities and vice versa, mediated by role models. The triangulation of these three aspects in relation to medical education presents novel understandings to the field. Greater explicit institutional support of student-led SM societies, and facilitation of the presence and discussion of SM symbols and personal identities within professional spaces, may go a long way in redefining 'normativity' in medical schools.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A largely unstudied area of concern and possible intervention is the portrayal of PWDD in medical education. Often, medical photographs portray PWDD with obscured faces, emotionless, and posed in an undignified way. This exploratory, qualitative study aimed to explore how photo representations of PWDD influences medical students' attitudes and beliefs toward disability. <b><i>Approach:</i></b> We recruited 10 medical students from a single medical school in the northeastern United States to participate in in-depth, individual semi-structured interviews via Zoom. During the interviews, we asked students to reflect on and respond to two image sets of PWDD: a standard image set, which were photos from medical textbooks, and a positive image set, which were photos from the U.S.-based disability nonprofit, Positive Exposure. Using thematic analysis underpinned by the Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework, we coded and organized the transcripts into four themes that characterized participants' attitudes and beliefs about PWDD. <b><i>Findings:</i></b> The four themes we identified were as follows. <i>Humanization vs. dehumanization</i>: Standard imagery characteristics (e.g., black bars, unnatural posing, lack of clothing) were perceived as dehumanizing and raised concerns about consent and autonomy, whereas positive imagery characteristics (e.g., clothing, natural poses, nonclinical settings) were seen as humanizing and enhanced perceptions of agency. <i>Quality of life</i>: Standard imagery often led to assumptions of compromised quality of life, while positive imagery suggested a good quality of life. <i>Discomfort vs. comfort with communication in a clinical setting:</i> Dehumanizing portrayals increased perceived difficulty in establishing rapport, while humanizing imagery mitigated these perceived barriers. <i>Diversity:</i> Image sets showcasing a diverse spectrum of presentations for a given diagnosis were valued for medical education. <b><i>Insights:</i></b> We conclude that photographic representation of disability in medical education can influence medical students' attitudes and beliefs about PWDD. Photographic elements can either humanize or dehumanize, with humanizing representation leading to more positive attitudes and therefore also an educational benefit. Thoughtful and inclusive visual content is needed in medical education to encourage positive attitudes and foster a more empathetic healthcare environment. Our results support future plans to further investigate how photo representation affects attitudes in a larger sample.

Determinants of these decisions have previously been described but have not been well described for acute care contexts such as critical care and emergency medicine. The ad hoc entrustment of trainees caring for vulnerable patient populations is a high-stakes decision that may differ from other contexts. Critically ill patients and children are vulnerable patient populations, making the ad hoc entrustment of a pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM) fellow a particularly high-stakes decision. This study sought to characterize how ad hoc entrustment decisions are made for PCCM fellows through faculty ratings of vignettes. The authors investigated how acuity, relationship, training level, and task interact to influence ad hoc entrustment decisions. <b><i>Approach</i>:</b> A survey containing 16 vignettes that varied by four traits (acuity, relationship, training level, and task) was distributed to U.S. faculty of pediatric critical care fellowships in 2020.

Current literature about interprofessional assessments focuses largely on the development and validation of assessment instruments such as self-assessments or questionnaires to assess students' knowledge or attitudes. Less is known about the design and validity of integral types of assessment in interprofessional education, such as case-based assessments, or performance assessments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the evidence for and threats to the validity of the decisions about students' interprofessional performances based on such integral assessment task. We investigated whether the assessment prototype is a precursor to practice (authenticity) and whether the assessment provides valid information to determine the level of interprofessional competence (scoring).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Approach: &lt;/strong&gt;We used a design-based qualitative research design in which we conducted three group interviews with teachers, students, and interprofessional assessment experts. In semi-structured group interviews, participants evaluated the evidence for and threats to the validity of an interprofessional assessment task, which were analyzed using deductive and inductive content analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Findings: &lt;/strong&gt;Although both evidence for and threats to validity were mentioned, the threats refuting the assessment's validity prevailed. Evidence for the authenticity aspect was that the assessment task, conducting a team meeting, is common in practice. However, its validity was questioned because the assessment task appeared more structured as compared to practice. The most frequently mentioned threat to the scoring aspect was that the process of interprofessional collaboration between the students could not be evaluated sufficiently by means of this assessment task.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;This study showed that establishing interprofessional assessment validity requires three major balancing acts. The first is the balance between authenticity and complexity. As interprofessional practice and competencies are complex, interprofessional tasks require build-up or guidance toward this complexity and chaotic practice. The second is that between authenticity and scoring, in which optimal authenticity might lead to threats to scoring and vice versa. Simultaneous optimal authenticity and scoring seems impossible, requiring ongoing evaluation and monitoring of interprofessional assessment validity to ensure authentic yet fair assessments for all participating professions.
