Systems thinking and structural competence in and for medical education
نویسنده
چکیده
In some of my reading and in conversations and meetings, I have noticed two phenomena: on the one hand, an explicit commitment to teaching systems thinking to our students and residents, and on the other, situations in medical education where systems thinking would have made a substantial contribution. The collection of articles in this issue of the CMEJ similarly demonstrate systems thinking or the need for such. Before describing those articles and their connection to systems thinking, I should explain what I mean and how my understanding has been informed by recent national documents and purposeful academic reading.
