HPE research is increasingly addressing population gaps ranging from the learner's access to & experience of education to the community's access to & experience of healthcare
But do we have better theories to inform the concrete pedagogical steps to improving them together?

It is useful to research the diversity of learner & patient experiences, the influence of power in discourses & decisions in HPE, and to prescribe fairer processes or procedures. But have we investigated stakeholder thought processes & motivations to ensure transparent debate?

If we suspect reduced effectiveness of burnt out clinicians, I wonder what is the impact of burnt out health professions educators? #ANZAHPE2025

Do competency frameworks serve as useful education models?
Learning and performance is not a pyramid, flower, or Venn diagram. How should we represent the complex and inter-related domains pertaining to competence, expertise, & the varied work of health professionals?

Who is being served by HPE research?
The HPE literature is mostly a random collection of empirical observations with few theories to explain how they all fit together. Of the theories that do exist, many of them are too abstract & inaccessible to grass-roots educators.

I am sad to hear that the @PapersPodcast produced their last episode this week.
Thanks for headlining some of the key conversations in our field. May these continue in the health professions education community with ongoing scholarly rigour.

A Theory of Mind?
AI technology has grown in leaps & bounds. What was first met with scepticism & resistance has turned into cautious acceptance & even unbridled enthusiasm. At first it was an amusing curiosity, now it's a serious tool.

In one way, out another
The biggest error we can make as educators is believing that teaching and learning only involves a cognitive transformation. It is possible to induce apparently complex behaviours that are not based on any thinking process.

Illusions of Cognition
We forget that simplistic responses to complex stimuli can still be explained by behaviouralism, and an entire education system can be based on this theory.

Validity in the Next Era of Assessment: Consequences, Social Impact, and Equity - PubMed
Validity has long held a venerated place in education, leading some authors to refer to it as the "sine qua non" or "cardinal virtue" of assessment. And yet, validity has not held a fixed meaning; rather it has shifted in its definition and scope over time. In this Eye Opener, the authors explore if …
