Description

Fundamentals and Frontiers of Medical Education and Decision-Making brings together international experts to consider the theoretical, practical, and sociocultural foundations of health professions education. In this volume, the authors review the foundational theories that have informed the early transition to competency-based education.

Moving beyond these monolithic models, the authors draw from learning and psychological sciences to provide a means to operationalize competencies.

The chapters cover fundamental topics including the transition from novices to experts, the development of psychomotor skills in surgery, the role of emotion and metacognition in decision-making, and how practitioners and laypeople represent and communicate health information.

Each section seeks to provide a basic background along with chapters to integrate and advance our understanding of health professions education and decision-making. Grounded in psychological science, this book highlights the fundamental issues faced by healthcare professionals, and the frontiers of learning and decision-making.

It is important reading for a wide audience of healthcare professionals, healthcare administrators as well as researchers in judgment and decision-making.
