The number of scholars drawing on social science perspectives and 
contributing to the field of health professions education research has 
been steadily increasing the past decade. This symposium is the first of 
its kind in Canada to bring a diverse group of scholar together in order 
to foster dialogue about the contributions their scholarly traditions 
and perspectives can make to health professions education research. We 
encourage submissions that are theoretically and or methodologically 
grounded in social science traditions on topics relevant to health 
professions education such as:

· Social construction of medical knowledge(s)

· Interprofessional relations

· Globalization

· Knowledge acquisition, production and translation

· Socialization and professionalization

· Hidden curriculum

· Relations of power and marginalized perspectives

· Governance, regulation and accountability

· Ethics of education in the health professions

· Other

  This symposium is sponsored by the Wilson Centre and will be held at
