As a field, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) lies at the intersection of many disciplines. Tensions can occur as scholars from fields ranging from education to quality improvement seek to advance the practices and workplaces of health care professionals. Because of the diversity of people working to affect change within the field of CPD, it remains a challenging space to collaborate and understand the various philosophies, epistemologies, and practice of all those within the field.
In this article, the authors have proposed a meta-organizational framework for how we might re-examine theory, application, and practice within the field of CPD. It is their belief that this proposal might inspire others to reflect on how we can cultivate and invite diverse scientists and scholars using a range of theories to add to the fabric of the field of CPD.
We have accepted the invitation to reflect on this challenge and invite you to join us for this collaborative SACME and AMEE session of our Virtual Journal Club. We offer you a unique opportunity to connect with all three authors of this interesting paper, as well as the leadership of the AMEE CPD and SACME Scholarship reaction panel.
