Spontaneous collaboration among medical learners significantly contributes to this informal learning and is increasingly recognized as a component of the hidden curriculum in medical education. Yet historically, a disproportionate emphasis in medical education has been placed on didactic, structured, and faculty-initiated methods, leaving an important force in medical education understudied and underutilized. We hypothesize that there is significant educational potential in studying and deploying targeted tools to facilitate collaboration among medical learners. <b><i>Intervention</i></b>: At our institution, neurology residents implemented the \"Daily Fact Pile\" (DFP), a resident-led, email-based collaboration that served as a platform to share clinical pearls in an informal, digital way. Participation was voluntary and participants were encouraged to share facts that were new to them and thought to be clinically relevant. Motivated by the positive collective experience, we conducted a retrospective examination of this phenomenon. In this context, we developed the concept of \"mutual microlearning\" to characterize this efficient, multidirectional exchange of information. <b><i>Context</i></b>: Thirty-six residents in a single neurology residency program utilized the DFP at a large university hospital in the USA between 2018 and 2019. After 21 months of spontaneous and voluntary participation, we assessed the feasibility of the DFP, its impact on the education and morale of neurology residents, and compared its mutual microlearning approach to traditional lectures. This was done through a survey of the DFP participants with a response rate of 80.7%, and analysis of the statistics of participation and interaction with the DFP. <b><i>Impact</i></b>: Most participants felt that the DFP was beneficial to their education and thought they often or always learned something new from reading the DFP. The impact of the DFP extended beyond education by improving interest in neurology, morale, and sense of teamwork. The DFP was feasible during neurology residency and participation was high, though participants were more likely to read facts than share them. <b><i>Lessons learned</i></b>: Mutual microlearning represents an opportunity to augment residents' education, and well-designed mutual microlearning tools hold promise for complementing traditional teaching methods. We learned that efficiency, ease of use, and a supportive, non-judgmental environment are all essential to the success of such tools. Future research should delve deeper into the underlying mechanisms of mutual microlearning to establish its position within the theoretical frameworks of medical education.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"249-260"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140102770","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}

Particularly when transitioning to practice, students and residents face dissonance between what they perceive as the ideals of patient care and reality. They witness, and eventually take part in, joking about fellow students and patients, discriminating against minorities, and imposing unbearable workload to subordinates, to mention some practices that have been normalized as the reality of medical training, beyond any possibility of change. 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. Finally, we present suggestions for individual- and systems-level actions that can translate these principles of Critical Pedagogy into a <i>praxis</i> of untested feasibilities for medical education.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"273-282"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143025465","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}

As a result, Health Professions Education (HPE) research often reinforces global power imbalances, privileging Western perspectives while excluding knowledge from the Global South and marginalized communities. This article advocates for Critical Reflexive Praxis (CRP), an approach grounded in Critical Theory, that combines self-reflection with deliberate action to disrupt power dynamics and promote equity in research. CRP extends beyond traditional reflexivity by interrogating and transforming the underlying structures that shape knowledge production and dominant research practice. By adopting CRP, researchers can challenge entrenched hierarchies, include and amplify marginalized perspectives, and create research that fosters meaningful social transformation.

The consequences of under-representation are far reaching, with profound impacts on social justice efforts and public health. One solution to remedy this crisis involves the aggressive recruitment of students from REM backgrounds. Though medical education programs have advanced in the recruitment of REM students, their outcomes during medical school are worse than for students from non-REM populations. Previously, literature has focused on causes for this disparity including social determinants, biases, and burden. <b><i>Approach:</i></b> In this manuscript, we invoke Critical Whiteness Theory (CWT) to argue how the systems of assessment in medical schools are an under-appreciated contributor to disparities, effectively perpetuating inequities by promoting a white supremacist culture. We begin by examining the origins of assessment in medical education, exploring the historical desire to measure attributes of a <i>good doctor</i>, but the tendency to default toward measures of aptitude and rote medical content knowledge that support a white supremacist culture. The Flexner Report and a systemic shift to favor standardized testing are highlighted as major contributors to the foundation of medical school assessment programs. We then describe potential for progress, through a better definition of the <i>good doctor,</i> articulated by the competency-based medical education movement, and advanced further through a justice-oriented assessment program. <b><i>Findings:</i></b> Using an illustrative case example and review of the literature, we suggest that progress in admissions and remediation are commonly coupled, and misaligned, with a historical approach to assessment. Resulting from the misalignment, we argue that medical education programs effectively \"gaslight\" REM students by admitting them into programs poorly equipped to support their success and convincing REM students that their poor outcomes were earned. We share examples from pre-clinical and clinical assessment programs, including a continued reliance on standardized tests, arbitrary grading thresholds, shadow assessment programs, and focus on episodic remediation that results in stigmatization for failures. <b><i>Insights:</i></b> We conclude by providing a model for how issues identified through this perspective may be remedied through a justice-oriented approach to assessment. Through that approach, we propose improved alignment in the recruitment and retention of REM students, thereby resulting in better outcomes for patients, improved physician representation, and realization of a diverse and more complete picture of the <i>good doctor</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607125","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}

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.
