Lectures and seminars Seminar with Lara Varpio and Jonathan Sherbino: What counts as evidence in health professions education?
We invite you to a conversation about scholarly work, curiosity, and what it means to investigate education with rigor and purpose, whether you do it as a researcher, supervisor, a clinician, or someone who simply can't stop asking why things work the way they do.
Welcome to the second seminar in this lecture series, delivered as part of the strategic funding from the KI President Annika Östman Wernerson, focusing on medical education research at KI.
In a field that brings together clinicians, social scientists, and educators, all with different ideas about what rigorous knowledge looks like, this tension isn't background noise. It's the terrain.
This session brings together two of the field's most experienced voices for a conversation that is part intellectual provocation, part career navigation, part honest reflection on what it actually takes to pursue scholarly work in HPE, wherever you're starting from.
