Workshop Description
With the commencement
of Revalidation in the
UK
on 03.12.2012 this workshop provides a timely opportunity to explore the
potential impact of medical regulation on medical education across the
continuum - from medical student to clinician engaged in continuing
professional development. Drawing on our research into Revalidation we will
introduce the general premise that an unintended consequence of medical
regulation is that the regulation becomes a significant driver for both the
development of the curriculum and ultimately the shaping of professional
identity.
Working in small groups and using anonymised extracts from transcribed
interviews with appraisers and appraisees involved in our Revalidation research
the workshop aims to raise awareness, encourage reflection and exchange ideas.
Workshop Objectives
- Be able to draw a set
of general conclusions from specific research that will be relevant to a
variety of regulatory contexts
- Have greater
awareness of the ways in which unintended consequences may become drivers for
change
- Have developed a
draft outline for a collaborative paper/papers
