Reflections in health professions education
Program Title (AHEGS): Reflections in health professions education
Unit Set Code: CC-ACT1020
Medicine, Nursing, and Health Sciences students enrolled in this program will collaborate with educators and fellow students to co-create an online learning resource focused on engaging in reflective practice and writing reflections. Student participation in this program deepens their understanding of reflective practice, which is critical in health professions education and enhances students’ employability, teamwork and communication skills. They can also make a meaningful contribution to the learning experience of future students in health professions education courses.
