When I say inclusion in health professions education

Abstract

There is no unified understanding of the concept of inclusion in the literature. Because of the growing reports of exclusion and marginalization in HPE, and the reports of inequitable health provision in global health, inclusion is currently a widely discussed topic in Health Professions Education (HPE) as well as global health. In this article I explore the concept of inclusion based on the current literature, mainly from the psychological aspect. When I say inclusion, it is not just a sense of belonging, but also the opportunity to participate and contribute meaningfully.
