However, no study has documented how SE influences the development of the knowledge that underpins this reasoning. This study was a first step to explore this. More specifically the aim was to compare the use of biomedical and clinical knowledge by medical students who use SE while solving the same clinical cases one week apart. Methods: Fifty-three medical clerks previously took part in a study to determine the impact of combining SE with listening to examples of SE on solving clinical cases one week …

The Art Of Acknowledging That We Know Nearly Nothing, Jimmie Leppink

Health Professions Education

It is early March of 2018 – Winter is supposed to be coming to an end and so is a book I have been writing together with two fellow scholars in the field of education. Writing a book, your mind goes back to conference discourse, visiting scholar trips to institutes in other countries, conversations over a good beer, literature you read, things you learned from your teachers, intriguing questions from some of your students, questions that kept you awake at night and remain unanswered, and so much more. The reiterating melody or Leitmotiv in all these activities, related or unrelated …

Journal of Health Disparities Research and Practice

Despite sexual and reproductive health disparities, few evidence-based sexual health education programs exist for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, with even fewer tools available to assist AI/AN communities in adopting, implementing, and maintaining such programs. iCHAMPSS (Choosing And Maintaining effective Programs for Sex education in Schools) is a theory- and web-based decision-support-system designed to address dissemination barriers and increase the reach and fidelity of evidence-based programs (EBPs), specifically sexual health education programs. To investigate the potential of iCHAMPSS in AI/AN communities, we pilot-tested iCHAMPSS with adult stakeholders (N = 36) from agencies across …
