#10 Cadavers, Simulation and Philosophy Let Me Ask You Something

    • Philosophy

We discuss "The Lifecycle of a Clinical Cadaver: A Practice-Based Ethnography" by Anna MacLeod, Victoria Luong, Paula Cameron, George Kovacs, Molly Fredeen, Lucy Patrick, Olga Kits & Jonathan Tummons. You can download the open access article here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10401334.2022.2092111
This is the 10th installment of the series on philosophy in medical education of Mario Veen and Anna Cianciolo, which appears in Teaching and Learning in Medicine: An International Journal -- it will also appear as a book chapter in our upcoming book Helping a Field See Itself: Envisioning a Philosophy of Medical Education (Springer, forthcoming 2023).
 
Anna MacLeod is Professor and Director of Education Research in the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax Canada. She is also the Unit Head for Dalhousie’s Research in Medicine program. Elected to the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars in 2018, Anna is known for her innovative approaches to exploring medical education. She has held uninterrupted Tri-Council funding as Principal Investigator since taking up her faculty position, with more than 2.5 million dollars in funding to support her ethnographic studies of medical education. Anna publishes widely in medical and higher education. Her award-winning contributions are enriching the discourse of medical education, incorporating critical social science perspectives and broadening theory, while making a significant practical contribution to the design and delivery of medical education locally, nationally and around the world.
 
Victoria Luong is a PhD student and Research Associate in the Department of Continuing Professional Development at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Her research has included ethnographic and phenomenological explorations of the medical education community's practices, and her graduate work draws on the philosophy of medicine to unpack medical student underperformance. 
 
Anna, Victoria and co-authors recently also published another paper on the topic:
Case-Informed Learning in Medical Education: A Call for Ontological Fidelity by Anna MacLeod, Victoria Luong, Paula Cameron, Sarah Burm, Simon Field, Olga Kits, Stephen Miller, Wendy A. Stewart https://pmejournal.org/articles/10.5334/pme.47 
 
Professor Gabrielle Finn is the Vice-Dean for Teaching, Learning and Students for the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health. She is Professor of Medical Education in the School of Medical Sciences. 
 
Mario Veen (@MarioVeen) is Assistant Professor Educational Research at the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam in The Netherlands. Mario is action editor for the Philosophy in Medical Education series of the journal Teaching & Learning in Medicine and co-editor of the first two books about philosophy and medical education: Applied Philosophy for Health Professions Education: A Journey Towards Mutual Understanding with Megan Brown and Gabrielle Finn (Springer, 2022) and Helping a Field See Itself: Envisioning a Philosophy of Medical Education (Taylor & Francis, forthcoming 2023).
