1st Edition
Pedagogies of Widening Participation in Medical Settings Addressing Under-representation through Partnership and Professionalism
Addressing the fact that under-representation has been a concern for medical educators, medical councils, and the government for some time, this book presents the first evidence-based monograph for pedagogies that can be applied to all aspects of widening participation, tackling chronic under-representation in medical settings.
Discussing implications that have international ramifications for the field, chapters showcase a variety of case studies, research and evaluations that draw on experiences and insight from a wide range of current practitioners, exploring topics such as outreach, access, selection, retention and progression. From Widening Participation leads and officers to National representative bodies and students from medical schools nationwide, the book sets out perspectives, guidelines and research that can be applied throughout the medical student life cycle. Novel in approach and timely in content, this edited collection coincides with the drive to increase social mobility and the proportion of medical students from educationally and socially disadvantaged backgrounds, directly tackling the class system and elitism present in the medical professions.
This book will be of great benefit to scholars, researchers, and post-graduate students in the field of medical education, multicultural education, and higher education, as well as those researching the idea of widening participation in the medical field and diversity in the professions more specifically.
