“…The researchers, through a consensus-building discussion, discarded articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria. The team selected nine full-text articles for inclusion (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30), reviewing the reference list for additional literature. However, the search did not yield additional articles.…”

“…In one study (28), adverse outcomes relating to engagement included di culty in managing group dynamics and the lack of motivation of participants due to staff perceiving HPE programmes as a "bandwagon phenomenon" often linked to career progression requirements (28). There was a greater level of reporting on professional development (23,(25)(26)(27)29,30) than career/capacity development (26), though both were outcomes of online faculty development opportunities. Where the design of a course facilitated learning in a safe, exible and re ective learning environment (23,25,28), it also enabled the enhancement of the online faculty development opportunity (23)(24)(25)28) and, in some cases, the design of new programmes (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)30).…”

“…However, studies caution the need for awareness of online learnings' weaknesses, such as connectivity requirements and the lack of interaction created by the programmes' asynchronous nature (25,28). Online faculty development opportunities required facilitators who appropriately guided participants by facilitating communication and discussion (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). These studies identi ed both the negative and positive outcomes of providing feedback or lack thereof (25,28).…”

Background Health professions educators require support to develop teaching and learning, research, educational leadership, and administrative skills to strengthen their higher education role through faculty development initiatives. Where administration has pursued face-to-face and online faculty development initiatives, results have positively influenced health professions educators. There is limited evidence demonstrating how online faculty development works for health professions educators in low- and middle-income countries who engage in online health professions education (HPE) faculty development. Methods A Conjecture Map for online HPE faculty development courses identified candidate theories for a rapid realist review. The Conjecture Map and candidate theories, Community of Inquiry and the Conversational Framework guided the development of search terms and analysis for this review. Three searches using EbscoHost databases yielded 1 030 abstracts. A primary and secondary research team participated in a multi-reviewer blinded process in assessing abstracts, selecting full-text articles, and data extraction. The primary research team analysed eight articles for this rapid realist review to answer the research question: How do online HPE faculty development courses work, or not work, in low- and middle-income countries? Data were analysed and mapped to the initial Conjecture Map and the research question. Results The research references US-based organisations forming partnerships with low- and middle-income countries, and who provide funding for online HPE faculty development initiatives. These initiatives design courses that facilitate learning through engagement from which participants report beneficial outcomes of professional and career development. The review does not clarify if the reported outcomes are generalisable for facilitators from low-and middle-income countries. The findings of this review demonstrate the role of a community of practice as the dominant mechanism through which the outcomes are achieved, based on a design that incorporates six triggering events. The design aligns the triggering events with the three categories of the Community of Inquiry—a theory for designing online learning environments. Conclusion Health professions educators in low- and middle-income countries can develop professional and interpersonal skills through a well-designed, specifically constructed online community that prioritises active discussion.

“…In this context, we draw the attention of readers to the retrospectively registered protocol of an apparently completed industry-sponsored randomized controlled trial (RCT) that is publicly available at the Clinical Trials Registry—India (CTRI), bearing registration number CTRI/2013/11/004127. This protocol was discussed as an activity in eJCIndia 1 in early April 2020.…”
