Students say they don’t get enough, or enough ‘good’ feedback … teachers say they deliver lots and do it well. Could some of this tension be because the role of the learner in the feedback process is underemphasized? Students must have ‘feedback literacy’ and use behaviors that facilitate effective feedback … but what does this actually involve? Is it an issue with ‘triadic reciprocal interplay’?Episode Host Linda SnellEpisode articleMcGinness, H. T., Caldwell, P. H. Y., Gunasekera, H., & Scott, K. M.

It is important as it suggests how we as educators can use these perspectives to advocate for support of educators and their work.

In this episode, the hosts review a research paper that takes on the challenge of generating a theory of identity safety in the clinical learning environment. This work pushes beyond current notions of psychological safety and so looks not only at how educators can help protect the full breadth of identities that learners bring to medical education, but also the agency that the learners can harness. If you want to foster learning environments where each and every learner is free to be their full selves, then this is a must-listen episode.Episode host: Lara VarpioEpisode Article: Bullock, J.

Methods Consult – Thematic Analysis is an inaugural episode where Lara Varpio dig a bit deeper into the some of the science methods and theory in health professions education.When you need a little help, or a second opinion, or just some advice from an expert colleague, you might call for a consult. These methods consults are precisely that: a little insight from a colleague who has medical education research experience and (some) expertiseIn this episode, we review thematic analysis as an independent data analysis approach, following the tradition that has been laid out by Braun and Clarke in Thematic Analysis: A Practical Guide (2022).

Chatbots use natural language processing (NLP) to converse and answer questions posed by a human user. Large language models (think billions of language parameters/nodes connected via networks to produce non-linear correlations between nodes) have accelerated the usability of chatbots.

In this episode, Lara Varpio takes the lead discussing a scoping review study examining uncertainty tolerance.The hosts debate questions relevant to your educational practice, including: What is the role of uncertainty and uncertainty tolerance in both clinical work and in health professions education? Is uncertaintly tolerance a competence to be expected of clinicians? If yes, how can we teach it? The hosts also share some insights about how to do a scoping review (listen into the ongoing debate between Lara and Jon—is a systematic review more like a narrative review or a systematic review). Lara's takeaway message: The theory you select to shape your study foundationally shapes the knowledge you develop.Listen to understand available uncertainty tolerance interventions AND to understand how a different theory would offer our community a very different interpretation.
