Innovations in Teaching and Learning for Health Professions Educators
The health professions continue to evolve and change rapidly as more opportunities and challenges emerge. Hence, health professions educators are required to be adaptive and nimble in their creation and adoption of teaching and learning innovations. These innovations have included teaching with technologies like virtual reality, gamification, online applications, and artificial intelligence. Innovations also include “know-how” such as emotional intelligence and ways of approaching the learning process through student-centered learning experiences grounded in the cognitive science of learning. Scholarship related to identification of the best uses of different innovations is difficult. The same innovations have proven to be engaging in some contexts and burdensome in others. Additionally, simulation-based education continues to incorporate innovations in how health professions educators are taught with more focus on effectiveness of the simulation educator including applications with distance simulation. Training and development for health professions and simulation educators is becoming more formalized, yet gaps on effectiveness of training and development efforts persist. Faculty effectiveness, especially as it relates to educational innovation adoption, is difficult to measure; and demonstration of related competencies is in its infancy. The goal of this Research Topic is to bring together state-of-the-art examples of scholarship in health professions education related to the awareness and appropriate adoption of innovation, which is broadly defined as an idea, practice, technology, and know-how. Evidence about the current state of emerging innovations, effectiveness of innovations and evidence about the competencies needed for teaching in our evolving environments are all areas of interest for this collection. All types of scholarship can support this focus, including analyses based on primary quantitative and qualitative data collection, secondary data analyses, literature reviews, and methodological infrastructure/tool development. Additionally, scholarship investigating how these innovations have influenced health professions educators, including their training and development, is part of the goal of the collection. The scope of this collection covers any innovations that are applicable to professional development and implementation for health professions educators. More specifically, we invite scholarship related to how educators prepare themselves for meeting the needs of their students, given the changing roles and innovations available to both faculty and students across learning environments worldwide. Examples of topics of interest include: • Analyses of innovation related to the evolving roles of health professions educators; • Reviews of educational innovation adoption by health professions education faculty, especially related to artificial intelligence-linked applications; • Exploring factors associated with professional development, training, and effective educational innovation adoption by faculty. • Simulation-based educational innovation applications for faculty development; • Faculty innovation in resource-constrained environments in low- and middle-income countries. • Methodological challenges associated with studying educational innovations by faculty in health professions education and critical research needs associated with generating and evaluating educational innovations; • Methodological considerations associated with health professions education faculty competencies. Theoretically-focused analyses are welcome as long as they are linked to applications.
Innovations in Global Mental Health
Over the course of the last decade, political and mental entities at large have embraced global mental health: the idea that psychiatric health is vital to improved quality of life. Physicians globally have implemented guidelines recommended by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 2007, thereby breaking down barriers to care and improving quality of life in areas where these practices have been implemented. Programs for training and education have expanded as a result. Clinicians benefit more from both local resources in some regions as well as in international collaboration and technological advancements. Even amidst all of these positive outcomes, clinicians still face some stumbling blocks. With worldwide statistics estimating that 450 million people struggle with mental, neuropsychiatric, and neurological disorders—25 percent of the world’s non-communicable disease burden—rising to these challenges prove to be no small feat, even in wealthy Western nations. Various articles and books have been published on global mental health, but few of them thoroughly cover the clinical, research, innovative, and social implications as they pertain to psychiatry; often, only one of these aspects is covered. A comprehensive text that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving literature grows more and more valuable each day as clinicians struggle to piece together the changes around the world that leave open the possibility for improved outcomes in care. This book seeks to boldly rectify this situation by identifying innovative models of service delivery, training, education, research funding, and payment systems that have proven to be exemplary in implementation and scalability or have potential for scalability. Chapters describe specific barriers and challenges, illuminating effective strategies for improved outcomes. This text is the first peer-reviewed resource to gather prestigious physicians in global mental health from around the world and disseminate their expertise in the medical community at large in a format that is updateable, making it a truly cutting-edge resource in a world constantly changed by medical, scientific, and technological advances. Innovations in Global Mental Health is the ultimate resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, hospitalists, policy makers, and all medical professionals at the forefront of global mental health and its implications for the future.
