Conclusion: The “Prognosis” of Writing in the Health Professions
Published in Michael J. Madson, Teaching Writing in the Health Professions, 2021
Knowledge transfer should not be unidirectional, and as an emergent interdiscipline, writing in the health professions can contribute to other disciplines. As an example, Ariail and Smith adapted concept analysis, a method that is commonly assigned in nursing coursework and that, moreover, can appear in peer-reviewed journal articles. Following a similar procedure as their students, these authors extracted layers of meaning surrounding the concept helping in rhetoric and composition.60

Published in Christopher Dowrick, Global Primary Mental Health Care, 2019
Psychoeducation refers to any educational intervention offered to individuals (and their families) to help empower them to improve their health. Psychoeducation can help to reduce stigma, self-blame and barriers to treatment. The key goals of psychoeducation are: Knowledge transfer (e.g. pathophysiology or the cause of the illness, education about treatments);Promote understanding (e.g. to understand what can make things worse or better);Support treatment (e.g. to enhance compliance);Promote self-help (e.g. what to do if a crisis occurs).

Career choice is a multifactorial decision in medical students’ lives. The medical school, the student’s personality and preferences, the ideas about the preferred speciality and the current life situation significantly impact the decision [9]. In this article, we focus only on the impact of their attitude towards rural family medicine on career choice. Medical education plays a significant role in medical students’ lives through knowledge transfer and by shaping their attitudes. The hidden curriculum strongly influences the students’ career decisions [10]. EURACT (European Academy of Teachers in General Practice/Family Medicine) suggests that every medical faculty should have a department or unit of family medicine with a family doctor as chair and family medicine should be part of the undergraduate core curriculum [11]. There is strong evidence that the quantity of practical GP curriculum is directly correlated with medical students’ willingness to choose family medicine as a future career [12]. Rural medicine is in the same situation. EURIPA (European Rural and Isolated Practitioners Association) and EURACT state that specific rural medicine programmes must be part of medical education to increase the popularity of pastoral work [13].
Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic’s implication on future technology-integrated healthcare education
Published in Contemporary Nurse, 2022
Claire Su-Yeon Park, Nora Jee-Young Park
First, empirical studies that address the development and evaluation of technology-integrated healthcare educational programs for “two-way remote interactions” between educators and learners are urgently needed. Literature in healthcare education is mostly about studies on a simple application of an online education program for “unilateral knowledge transfer.” These research evidences don’t illuminate the synergy and chemistry that can be created by “two-way remote interactions” between educators and learners. Consequently, it impedes advances in education science by limiting the possibility of bringing about the multidimensionality of truth – specifically referring to the way knowledge happens when two or more are gathered: the Greek aletheia (truth as a process) and the Hebrew emeth (experienced truth between truthful encounters and others) (Becker et al., 2015).
Effects of a Virtual Educational Intervention to Teach Interprofessional Collaboration to Community Health Nursing Students
Published in Journal of Community Health Nursing, 2021
Jenni L. Hoffman, Grigoris Argeros
Online interprofessional education is easily accessible, convenient, cost effective, and is an alternative instructional strategy compared to the typical, traditional, in person, onsite classroom setting (Anderson et al., 2019). Various types of virtual learning (defined as being on a computer [Merriam-Webster, 2020]) have demonstrated effectiveness with knowledge transfer and interprofessional competency development (Grosser et al., 2020). Interprofessional education can be offered via a variety of delivery methods such as distance education (described as physical separation of instructor and students during educational delivery and use of technology to facilitate communication [Britannica, 2016]), which includes virtual learning (McCutcheon et al., 2017). Asynchronous online learning (defined as a student-centered teaching method often used in online learning where learning occurs at different times and in different spaces for each learner [Finol, 2020, March 26]) can efficiently facilitate students’ reflection and critical thinking, and it is cost effective (Smith et al., 2019). However, there is minimal literature on the effectiveness of interprofessional education using distance education (McCutcheon et al., 2017). This study will also contribute to the minimal body of literature on this topic.
