This book addresses health professions educational challenges
specific to non-Western cultures, implementing a shifting paradigm
for educating future health professionals towards patient-centered
care. While health professions education has received increasing
attention in the last three decades, promoting student-centered
learning principles pioneered by leaders in the medical community
has, for the most part, remain rooted in the Western context.
Building from Hofstede's analysis of the phenomena of cultural
dimensions, which underpin the way people build and maintain their
relationships with others and influence social, economic, and
political well-being across nations, this book demarcates the
different cultural dimensions between East and West, applied to
medical education. The respective 'hierarchical' and 'collectivist'
cultural dimensions are unpacked in several studies stemming from
non-western countries, with the capacity to positively influence
healthcare education and services. The book provides new insights
for researchers and health professional educators to understand how
cultural context influences the input, processes, and output of
health professionals' education. Examples include how cultural
context influences the ways in which students respond to teachers,
how teachers giving feedback to students, and the challenges of
peer feedback and group work. The authors also examine causes for
student hesitation in proposing ideas, the pervasive cultural norm
of maintaining harmony, the challenges of teamwork in clinical
settings, the need to be sensitive to community health needs, the
complexity of clinical decision making, and the challenge of how
collectivist cultural values play into group dynamics. This book
aims to advocate a more culturally-sensitive approach to educating
health professionals, and will be relevant to both students and
practitioners in numerous areas of public health and medical
education.
