Abstract

Introduction

There are increasing numbers of Master's Degree Programmes in Health Professions Education (MHPE), and the value to their students and graduates is not well understood. We conducted a scoping review to explore what is known about the value of MHPE programmes to their students and graduates.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework. PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, BEI, ERIC and EThOs databases were searched in addition to cited reference searching. Original research with an evaluation and published in the English language were included.

Results

Nineteen studies were included. Studies were based in a variety of locations on five continents, and included in-person, distance and blended learning. Students and graduates of MHPE programmes self-reported development of their pedagogical knowledge, confidence and credibility in their role as an educator, and educational scholarship. Enhanced career opportunities and opportunities for collegial interactions and networks were also reported. Important barriers included struggling with the time and financial commitments required for studying on a MHPE programme.

Conclusions

There are a variety of dimensions of value of MHPE programmes to their students and graduates. Important practical recommendations for MHPE programme providers and employers include providing opportunities for the development of networks and supporting the time and financial commitments required for studying.

卫生职业教育硕士学位课程的价值：范围审查》。

简介：卫生职业教育硕士学位课程（MHPE）的数量越来越多，但人们对其对学生和毕业生的价值却不甚了解。我们采用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的五阶段框架进行了范围界定审查。除引用参考文献检索外，还检索了 PubMed、CINAHL、Cochrane、BEI、ERIC 和 EThOs 数据库。结果共纳入 19 项研究。研究基于五大洲的不同地点，包括面对面学习、远程学习和混合学习。MHPE课程的学生和毕业生自我报告说，他们的教学知识、作为教育者的信心和信誉以及教育学术都得到了发展。他们还报告了职业机会的增加以及同事间互动和网络的机会。重要的障碍包括学习MHPE课程所需的时间和经济投入。对MHPE课程提供者和雇主提出的重要实用建议包括：提供发展人际网络的机会，支持学习所需的时间和经济承诺。
