Exploring the Use and Application of Implementation Science in Health Professions Education: A Workshop

Completed

Join a planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine as they conduct a workshop to explore the use and application of implementation science (IS) in health professions education (HPE). Presentations may include topics such as providing a foundation for discussing the role of IS in HPE; how best to build capacity for implementation science within HPE institutions including the training and introduction of IS to HPE leaders, faculty and health workforce researchers; and how educators could apply IS to scale and spread evidence based practices within HPE systems.

Description

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a public workshop to explore the use and application of implementation science (IS) in health professions education (HPE). Invited presentations will provide a foundation for discussing the role of IS in HPE; how best to build capacity for implementation science within health professions education institutions including the training and introduction of IS to HPE leaders, faculty and health workforce researchers; and how educators could apply IS to scale and spread evidence based practices within HPE systems. In this way, a workshop would aim to learn from local and global researchers studying how to apply research findings into educational areas such as:

  • the role of high stakes testing for admission into HPE schools and programs;
  • addressing social determinants and equity in education;
  • using telehealth and telemedicine in HPE;
  • applying artificial intelligence in HPE; and
  • using simulation in interprofessional education

Following the workshop, a proceedings of the presentations and discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
