The perceived value of philosophy to medical education is on the rise, but what does it truly entail to be philosophical about medical education and engage in philosophical inquiry? The intricate and ever-evolving realm of academic medicine demands that medical educators engage in introspection, challenge assumptions, and embrace the inherent ambiguity of a world that defies singular models or theories. This volume delves into philosophy as a practice within medical education, utilizing persistent problems that vex medical educators as a catalyst for philosophical exploration. We delve into fundamental questions such as the relationship between teaching and learning, the significance of personal experience in the face of scientific evidence, and the assumptions underlying these problems. Through alternative perspectives, we question the notion that teaching inherently leads to learning, explore the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, and propose ways forward. Each chapter in this book explores a specific theme in medical education, offering a philosophical lens through which to reexamine and extend the discourse. By inviting readers to embark on a journey beyond the printed words, we aim to empower medical educators to practice philosophy at appropriate moments in their work, thus establishing medical education as a mature field with its own philosophical foundation.
The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Medical Education.
