From incentive schemes to feedback processes: On the challenges of recruiting, supporting, and retaining clinical educators.

Research output: ThesisDoctoral ThesisInternal

Abstract

Teachers are clearly central to health professions education; without teachers, we would lack the much-needed clinical expertise required to support the learning of the next generation of health professionals. However, there are often issues recruiting and retaining teachers, and it is not uncommon for clinicians to leave their teaching roles to focus on clinical, research and other administrative demands. Programs can play a critical role in supporting teachers’ motivations through incentives and feedback structures, but such mechanisms need to be perceived of as supportive and not harmful. This thesis explores the ways in which incentives and feedback can support the motivations of teachers in HPE, and, conversely, how their delivery can cause unintended consequences resulting in demotivated and disengaged teachers.
