Abstract
Health professions education and research (HPER) have an important mission: to better prepare future healthcare professionals for providing effective and safe healthcare. But what if HPER as a field is unintentionally doing the opposite? The trajectory towards becoming a health professional is largely situated within the clinical workplace. There, like in the formal education setting, training is often mostly siloed: physicians train physicians, nurses train nurses, physiotherapists train physiotherapists. During this presentation I will argue that if HPER is to better prepare their trainees for future practice, a change of perspective is needed regarding what we are training these trainees to become and who should be involved in this process. By using the perspective of socio-cultural learning theory, I will invite the audience to consider the role of the entire, interprofessional healthcare team in preparing medical trainees to become competent and knowledgeable professionals.
