Abstract
This session will succinctly summarize the theory and empirical research underpinning reflective practice and critical reflection for health professions education, dispelling common myths and demonstrating the benefits of critically reflective practice for a complex health and social system. It will also introduce practical teaching approaches that can support the development of critically reflective practitioners.
Biography
When there is no clear-cut answer to be found, how can health professionals provide competent and
compassionate care? Dr. Stella Ng was motivated by her clinical experiences, as a pediatric audiologist, to study how health professionals learn to practice well in response to the complexities of people’s lives, the health system, and society. Stella uses interdisciplinary theories of epistemologies of practice, reflection, critical reflection, and reflective practice to explicate what health professionals do in value-conflicted, uncertain, and unstable zones of practice. Informed by this research, Stella studies and advances teaching approaches to support the development of compassionate, ethical, and reflective practitioners.
