Locklear, Elizabeth; Fleener, M. Jayne
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2022 Conference (Milwaukee, WI, Oct 11-14, 2022)
Today's physicians must be equipped to address the changes and complexities in healthcare. This study focused on medical educators' experiences and understanding of the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL) model, which uses a metacognitive approach to teach physicians to develop adaptive expertise to manage change and uncertainty effectively. Findings included five major themes that describe how medical educators prepare future-ready physicians with guidance from the model. Using a Futures Literacy (FL) framework, the research supports the need for adaptive and futures learning in medical education to develop physicians equipped with adaptive expertise and skills to anticipate the future.
