The imperative for (and opportunities of) research on adaptive expertise in health professions education

Maria Mylopoulos et al. Adv Health Sci Educ Theory Pract. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

In this editorial, three Advances in Health Sciences Education editors argue for the importance and impact of adaptive expertise on the future of health professions education and work. They present a sample of the broad range of theory-informed research currently contributing to understanding and applying adaptive expertise in health professions education. They reflect on the unique opportunities that interdisciplinarity offers this endeavour. Finally they offer potential ways forward for continued efforts to advance collective understanding of education, expert development and health professions practice.
