“…In our study, graduates reported a greater sense of empowerment and self-efficacy in educational practices as a result of undertaking their degree. Self-efficacy is central to actions, and influences what people choose to do, how much effort they invest in activities, how long they persist in the face of adversity, and whether they approach the tasks anxiously or assuredly (Kaufman 2003). Although strong self-efficacy alone is a predictor for career choice and performance, having an interest and/or extrinsic motivation would further strengthen the uptake of a course in medical education (Lent et al 2006).…”

Demand for postgraduate qualifications in medical education can be judged by the increase in providers worldwide over the last two decades. However, research into the impact of such courses on identity formation of healthcare professionals is limited. This study investigates the influence of such programmes on graduates' educational identities, practices and career progression. Informed by constructivist grounded theory (CGT), semistructured interviews were conducted with 27 graduates (2008-2012) from one postgraduate programme, who were at different stages in their careers worldwide. The audio data were transcribed and analysed using a CGT approach. Participants enrolled in award-bearing medical education courses for various intrinsic and extrinsic reasons. The findings from this study highlight their development as educators, and educational researchers, leaders and learners, as their self-efficacy in educational practices and engagement in scholarly activities increased. Graduates attributed career progression to the qualification, with many being promoted into senior positions. They also described substantial performance attainments in the workplace. The findings contribute to understanding the complexity and nuances of educational identity formation of healthcare professionals. A qualification in medical education encouraged transformational changes and epistemological development as an educator. Awareness of these findings will inform both those considering enrolment and those supporting them of potential benefits of these programmes.

“…Current trends in medical education value constructivism as an ideal approach to teaching students to conceptualize medical disease and care for patients. 33 Two key elements of cognitive constructivism are the promotion of student independence and active learning techniques. 34 To understand and champion constructivism is to appreciate the value of selfdirected learning as the most effective approach to contemporary medical education.…”

In recent decades, the United States has experienced substantial growth in the number of student-run clinics for the indigent. Today, over 49 medical schools across the country operate over 110 studentrun outreach clinics that provide primary care services to the poor and uninsured. Despite this development, little research has been published on the educational value of such student-led endeavors. Although much has been surmised, no general methodology for categorizing the learning experience in these clinics has been established. This article represents the first literature review of the novel method of educating students through the operation of a clinic for the underserved. It highlights the student-run clinic as a unique enhancement of medical education that may supplant current curricular arenas in teaching students about systems-based practice principles such as cost containment and financing, resource allocation, interdisciplinary collaboration, patient advocacy, and monitoring and delivery of quality care. The novelty of the student-run clinic is that students place themselves at the forefront of problem solving and system navigation to effectively care for severely disadvantaged populations. This article underscores the student-run clinic as a potentially ideal experiential learning method for preparing young physicians to confront a US healthcare system currently facing crises in cost, quality of care, and high rates of uninsurance. The article stresses the need for outcomes research on the long-term effectiveness of the student-run clinic experience in affecting medical student practice behaviors and attitudes in patient care settings that extend beyond

“…It is based on the assumptions that learning builds on prior knowledge and experiences and that a teacher's role is to engage students in learning actively using relevant problems and group interaction. 8 A crowdsourcing discussion, whether online or in person, has become an important way to solve problems. The notion of an individual solving a problem is being replaced by distributed problem solving and team-based multidisciplinary practice.…”
