Transition theory and the emotional journey to medical educator identity: A qualitative interview study.

Background: Medical academia is in crisis, with fewer people entering and growing concern at numbers leaving. While faculty development is often seen as part of the solution, there are significant issues with faculty not engaging with and resisting development opportunities. Lack of motivation may be linked to what might be called a 'weak' educator identity.

'I felt forced to find an alternative': a qualitative analysis of women medical educators' narratives of career transitions.

Objectives: While institutional and systemic attempts to increase women's participation in medical education have enabled increasing numbers to enter the field and achieve more senior positions, little is known about lived experiences of female clinical educators. Women clinicians are more likely to change careers and work less than full time. This study focuses on women medical educators' narratives of career change, with the aim of exploring the interplay between factors affecting career decision-making, career trajectory and professional development.

Recent research into healthcare professions regulation: a rapid evidence assessment.

Background And Aims: Over the last decade, regulators have taken significant steps towards tackling perceptions that regulatory systems are burdensome. There has been much international research activity in the regulation of health and care professionals. This article reports a review of studies on health professions regulation between January 2011 and March 2020.

Making the leap to medical education: a qualitative study of medical educators' experiences.

Context: Medical educators often have prior and primary experience in other academic and clinical disciplines. Individuals seeking successful careers in the education of medical students and doctors must, at some point in their development, make a conscious transition into a new identity as a medical educator. This is a necessary move if individuals are to commit to acquiring and maintaining specialist expertise in medical education.

Editorial: Medical Students and Postgraduate Trainees as Medical Educators: peer learning is everywhere.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. In this special issue we would like to encourage authors to contribute as many diverse understandings as possible of how learning occurs in situations where the teacher is, as Osler so memorably put it, a senior student anxious to help his or her juniors.

Cation Complexation by Chemically Modified Calixarenes. 11. Complexation and Extraction of Alkali Cations by Calix[5]- and -[6]arene Ketones. Crystal and Molecular Structures of Calix[5]arene Ketones and Na(+) and Rb(+) Complexes.

A series of four calix[5]arenes and three calix[6]arenes (R-calixarene-OCH(2)COR(1)) (R = H or Bu(t)) with alkyl ketone residues (R(1) = Me or Bu(t)) on the lower rim have been synthesized, and their affinity for complexation of alkali cations has been assessed through phase-transfer experiments and stability constant measurements. The conformations of these ketones have been probed by (1)H NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis, and by molecular mechanics calculations. Pentamer 3 (R = R(1) = Bu(t)) possesses a symmetrical cone conformation in solution and a very distorted cone conformation in the solid state.
