About
From the classroom to the clinic, communicative practices in medical education shape how medical learners understand knowledge, relate to others, and construct their identities. Bringing a multimodal lens to varied learning contexts can provide valuable insights that will enhance the training of knowledgeable clinicians who are prepared to adapt to rapid advancements in technology, changing patterns of illness, and expanded understandings of access and equity in healthcare.
In this talk, we will present previous research studies that use multimodal interaction analysis (Norris, 2004, 2011) to examine how information is shared and recontextualized in new contexts within healthcare and medical education. Explore how multimodality more broadly can contribute meaningfully to research, teaching, and learning in medical education.
