The perceived value of philosophy to medical education is
increasing. But beyond the occasional application of philosophical
concepts, what does it mean to be philosophical about medical
education and to do philosophy—to create new concepts and ways of
thinking about what medical education is? The complex and dynamic
nature of academic medicine requires medical educators to reflect
on their practices, to question assumptions, and to embrace the
ambiguity of a world that cannot be captured by any one model or
theory. This volume explores philosophy as a practice in medical
education. We use persistent problems that vex medical educators as
a starting point to do philosophy, asking fundamental questions to
probe them: How are teaching and learning related? How do we
educate the value of personal experience relative to scientific
evidence? We also challenge the assumptions underlying these
problems with alternatives: What if teaching does not cause
learning? What if we cannot divide our inner and outer world? We
then explore ways forward: If we cannot cause learning, how do we
reconceptualize the educational process? How do we help physician
trainees critically reflect on medical epistemology throughout
their professional development? Each chapter explores one theme in
medical education (e.g., education, science, inequality,
technology, mortality) from a philosophical perspective, opening it
up to fundamental re-examination and inviting readers to continue
exploration beyond the printed words. This book is a step towards
enabling medical educators to practice philosophy themselves at
appropriate moments in their work. In this way, it aims to
establish medical education as a mature field with its own
philosophy. The chapters in this book were originally published in
the journal Teaching and Learning in Medicine.
