Jumping Ship And Going To The Other Side: Experiences Of Nurses Who Retrain As Doctors, Anne Robinson
Jumping Ship And Going To The Other Side: Experiences Of Nurses Who Retrain As Doctors, Anne Robinson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Aim: To gain an understanding of the experience of medical training for nurses who retrain as doctors.
Methods: Using a Constructivist Grounded Theory design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen medical students and residents who had completed nursing training prior to entering medical school. Interviews were audiotaped and professionally transcribed. Transcripts were coded and analysis in an inductive manner to construct central themes.
Findings: Many left nursing due to negative effects of a hierarchal system. As preclinical medical students they felt both advantaged and burdened by their advanced clinical knowledge. During clinical placements, they experienced social distress and role confusion …
About Dying And Death: Thanatology's Place In Medical Curriculum, Jill Dombroski
About Dying And Death: Thanatology's Place In Medical Curriculum, Jill Dombroski
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This study explored how healthcare providers engage in advance care planning and end-of-life care conversations. The research explored what shapes their understanding and the extent to which concepts from thanatology they intuitively bring in, explicitly bring in, and maybe fail to recognize. To achieve this, constructivist grounded theory (CGT) methodology guided the design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation of the findings, which allowed for iteration across interviews and analysis with existing theories and data in the literature. The CGT design encouraged further engagement with the literature in an ongoing iterative fashion as well as with the analysis of the data. …

The Changing Landscape Of Orthopaedic Surgery In Ontario: Where We Are, Where We Have Been, And Where We Are Going., Silvio Ndoja
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Orthopedic surgery is a field which has often been talked about with regards to surgeon underemployment. This is particularly important given the paradoxical increasing demand for orthopedic care. There has not been well studied literature understanding the state of orthopedic surgery training in Ontario, Canada. Using a combination of various databases and surveying surgeons trained in Ontario we sought to provide some insight.
We demonstrated multiple important findings. More recent graduates are feeling less ready to enter practice and almost all graduates do at least 1 fellowship, with equal amount of 1 versus 2 fellowships. We showed an effect of …
Hidden In Plain Sight: Finding A Balance Between Assessment And Learning In Competency-Based Education In Canadian Health Care, Scott Murray
Hidden In Plain Sight: Finding A Balance Between Assessment And Learning In Competency-Based Education In Canadian Health Care, Scott Murray
The Dissertation in Practice at Western University
Due to its emphasis on skill development and alignment with workforce demands, competency-based education (CBE) has garnered considerable attention in recent years. My organizational improvement plan (OIP) focuses on the potential benefits of incorporating learners’ voices into CBE in Canadian medical education and proposes a corresponding implementation framework. The traditional CBE model often lacks a critical component: the learner’s voice. My OIP reviews the literature and outlines its theoretical underpinnings (e.g., systems theory, adult education theory) within the scope of authentic leadership. The findings suggest incorporating learners’ voices into CBE to boost engagement, motivation, and agency. In response to such …
Relational Variables Impacting The Healthcare Team, Linda J. Macdougall Ms
Relational Variables Impacting The Healthcare Team, Linda J. Macdougall Ms
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The movement in the healthcare system towards interprofessional collaborative teamwork values the perspectives of various healthcare professionals. Although this system shift has been essential to quality improvement, there have been indications of issues occurring between professionals that include conflict and impaired team performance. Although the current literature on interprofessional collaboration acknowledges the competencies and demonstrated behaviours that indicate successful and difficult collaborative efforts there is a lack of research investigating the relational variables that occur between healthcare professionals.
The purpose of this research was to test a theoretically derived model of healthcare professionals’ relational variables. These variables related to warmth, …
Systemic, Institutional, And Teaching Factors In The Delivery Of Interprofessional Education Curriculum In Canada, Mohammad B. Azzam
Systemic, Institutional, And Teaching Factors In The Delivery Of Interprofessional Education Curriculum In Canada, Mohammad B. Azzam
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The Canadian federal and several provincial governments are currently collaborating to establish ‘team-based’ primary healthcare—or interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), which can be effectively accomplished when interprofessional education (IPE) is sustainably delivered by health and social care (HASC) professional education programs. Indeed, achieving the intended patient/client-oriented outcomes of IPE and subsequent IPCP requires deliberate and purposeful considerations of several systemic, institutional, and teaching factors. Regrettably, the analyses of the extent to which these factors have influenced effective IPCP is currently under-researched. In this integrated-article dissertation, we took a purposeful and systematic approach to explore the extent to which these multi-tiered factors …

The Attainment Of Obstetrical Competency In Postgraduate Family Medicine Training: A Qualitative Study, Nisha Arora
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Aims: This study explored the Family Medicine resident experience in working towards their obstetrical competencies from the perspectives of residents and educators.
Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with second-year Family Medicine residents and obstetrical supervisors from one Family Medicine program in Ontario, as well as key informants of Canadian Family Medicine maternity education. Interviews were audio-taped and professionally transcribed. Transcripts were coded and interpreted for common themes.
Findings: There was a disconnect between the intent of the College of Family Physicians of Canada Key Features document, and how it is applied at …
How We Debrief: An Interpretive Description Of Social Service Community Workers' Experiences, Andrea C. Krywucky
How We Debrief: An Interpretive Description Of Social Service Community Workers' Experiences, Andrea C. Krywucky
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The aim of this research was to understand current practices of debriefing being used or not used in community social service organizations and the presumed frameworks or evidence justifying these practices in London, Ontario. The geographical area under concern has seen an increasing poverty gap, lack of affordable housing, toxic drug crisis, with mental health issues being exasperated by the pandemic. Social service agencies are overwhelmed with caseloads, creating an increase in need of care for frontline workers, as they are the first point of contact for many. This research utilized an interpretive description methodology to explore workers’ experiences and …
