Abstract:
It may sound like the beginning of a bad joke, but in the fall of 2012 a philosopher did walk into CHES. What did she notice? This presentation will address philosophical themes pertinent to medical education scholarship that emerged from a one-semester engagement with CHES as “philosopher-in residence.” The purpose of the residency was to see what philosophy of education might contribute to medical education scholarship, and what philosophers of education might learn by paying attention to medical education. In reading medical education literature, attending presentations, and having more than twenty conversations with scholars, clinical educator fellows and others at CHES, some topics were noticeably present, others markedly absent. For example, what could be the place of theories of curriculum
and pedagogy in addition to theories of learning and assessment in medical education scholarship? How might critical thinking be different from clinical reasoning, and should it be taught in medical education? And why was there so much talk of professionalism but so little of ethics?
The Centre for Health Education Scholarship (CHES) is committed to enhancing health education scholarship by building
capacity for educational scholarship across the Faculty of Medicine through collaboration, team-building, mentorship
of new faculty, successful funding applications, and other activities.
