Ongoing social and technological changes mean that healthcare systems must function within and adjust to persistent transformation, which, in turn, influences approaches to health professions education. Ten researchers from the U.S., Sweden, and New Zealand contribute five essays exploring new pedagogies for the health care professions. The text is written for students and teachers interested in understanding the modern challenges in health professions education, and in how research in the interpretive pedagogies can offer new partnerships across healthcare disciplines in both theoretical and practical ways.
