Health Professions Education Advancements and Innovations—International Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Health profession education (HPE) stands at the forefront of ensuring excellence in healthcare delivery worldwide. HPE is a field of study and practice that focuses on the methods and approaches used to train and educate individuals in various health professions. These professions typically include medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, public health and allied health professions such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. HPE encompasses a wide range of topics and skills. This Special Issue aims to explore diverse international perspectives on the advancements and innovations in HPE, highlighting how institutions from different countries and cultures are adapting educational strategies to meet global healthcare challenges and enhance cross-border collaboration in health education. This Special Issue will feature research articles, reviews, brief reports, case reports or commentaries that touch on one of the following domains within HPE:

1. Curriculum development and design;
2. Teaching and learning methods;
3. Assessment and evaluation;
4. Interprofessional education;
5. Clinical and professional competence;
6. Research in health education;
7. Continuing professional development;
8. Leadership and administration in health education.

HPE is a critical field because the quality of healthcare delivery significantly depends on the quality of education and training that health professionals receive. It is a dynamic field, continually evolving with advancements in medical knowledge, healthcare technologies and educational methodologies. This Special Issue intends to serve as a broad platform for authors from around the globe to contribute scholarly discourse, sharing groundbreaking ideas and research that propel HPE forward, ultimately contributing to the overarching goal of advancing healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
