The Office of Health and Medical Education Scholarship is pleased to present:

Exploring the dark matter of context
in health professions education

Dr. Joanna Bates
Director, Centre for Health Education Scholarship (CHES)
University of British Columbia

Monday, December 1, 2014
12:00-12:50pm
1405B Health Sciences Centre, 3330 Hospital Drive NW, Calgary

Context is the elephant in the room in health professional education research: briefly acknowledged, and then put aside as we move to more controlled variables. Yet we use context constructively in medical education whenever we place learners in rural settings, in discipline-based settings, in private offices, or in regional campuses. As we diversify the settings in which trainees learn, the role of context becomes both more evident and more important in medical education.  In this session I will explore our current understanding of context in medical education, and suggest possible avenues for us to further our thinking about context in medical education.
