Reflecting on medical education predictions for 2025: part 2
I’m continuing with last week’s theme and reflecting back on predictions made for what the role of a medical educator would look like in 2025.
Reflecting on medical education predictions for 2025
In the “About” section of my website, I mention that I had decided to go back to graduate school to study educational psychology. I decided to do this because the more I learned about medical education, the more I realized I would be better equipped to assist health professions educators if I increased my understanding of how people learn to augment my knowledge of test development.
Embarking on a journey
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” -attributed to Lao Tzu
I read this quote for the first time many years ago, and it’s been a mantra for me in my personal and my professional life. But in March of 2024, I made it a literal directive as I quit my job of 24 years to hike the Appalachian Trail.
What makes me (and us) tick
I’m excited to start a business based on my professional interests and to explore how my personal interests connect with the work I have done and want to do. I enjoy long-distance hiking and see it as a metaphor for life. I’m happy when I can spend time in nature. I’m a lifelong learner and someone who prioritizes my relationships with others. I’m going to use this space to share information about the services I offer, topics related to those services, and more in-depth musings on what makes me (and us) tick.
