HPE Conversation Starters

We know that healthcare professionals must be equipped to serve diverse populations, but here’s the kicker: while there’s an emphasis on diversity in medical training, the integration of EDI into medical education research is still very much in its infancy. This isn’t just an academic issue; it has real world consequences.  In this conversation starter, PhD Candidate Alice Neiley helps break down some of the barriers and facilitators to integrating EDI effectively in medical education with the goal of helping move the field forward in this important area.

In this episode, we welcome Holly Adam (PhD Candidate) for a discussion about what patient involvement is, why it matters, and how we can effectively implement it health professions education. Tune in for some controversial research findings on this topic, as well as a conversation starter about the need for increased patient involvement in the field.

Welcome back! In this episode, we welcome our first guest, Dr. Catherine Giroux, for a discussion about what non-clinicians can bring to the field of HPE. We also reflect on our experiences as emerging scholars and what experiences really helped us figure out how we wanted to contribute to HPE. Stay tuned for some neat tips and tricks, as well as a conversation about how experiential learning helped us to get where we are today.
