The most prevalent types are systematic and scoping reviews. Unfortunately\, o ther kinds of reviews (e.g.\, narrative) have often been deemed unscientif ic and without value in medical education. Consequently\, medical educatio n has a skewed perspective on how literature can be synthesized and why (i .e.\, the purposes) syntheses can be conducted. This is deeply problematic because it blinds our community to synthesis approaches that can meaningf ully add new insights and knowledge to medical education. A foundational r eason for the current overreliance on systematic and scoping reviews is th at these types of knowledge syntheses are familiar to medical educators: s cholars know the kinds of questions these reviews answer\, the methods for conducting them\, and the markers of rigor to be expected. I contend that medical educators would use other types of literature reviews if they wer e more informed about them.\n\nAfter this workshop\, participants will be able to:\n\n\n distinguish between 8 different types of literature reviews: systematic\, scoping\, realist\, narrative\, critical\, state-of-the-art\ , theory integrative\, and meta-ethnographic reviews\n articulate\, for eac h type of review\, the research questions they answer\, how to execute the m\, and their markers of rigor\n\n\nBio:\n Dr. Lara Varpio is Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Philade lphia and the Co-Director of Research in Medical Education at The Children ’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She started these positions in 2022\, after s erving for 9 years at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Scie nces\, and 6 years at the University of Ottawa\, Canada..\n\nDr. Varpio’s research investigates how individual clinicians can shape the medical prof ession\, and how the profession shapes individual clinicians. In that rese arch\, she uses qualitative methodologies and methods\, integrated with th eories from the Social Sciences and Humanities. Her most recent work is re lated to: the perilous myths of professional identity formation\, and how the concept of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is failing medical education. She mentors many individual health professions educators from several specialties in a wide range of topics\, and is internationally rec ognized for her expertise in qualitative research methods and methodologie s\, and with a wide array of different theories.\n\nDr. Varpio has secured over $5.7millionUSD in research grants\, has authored +150 peer-reviewed conference presentations\, disseminated +180 peer-reviewed publications\, and given keynote talks and invited sessions at all the major medical educ ation international conferences. Dr. Varpio was recently selected by the F ulbright Scholarship committee to mentor and host a Fulbright Scholar awar d winner from Australia. In 2019\, she was selected as one of twelve inaug ural Karolinska Fellows. She was co-host of the KeyLIME podcast\, and move d with the show to the Karolinska Intitutet\, and now co-hosts the PAPERs Podcast.\n\n \n\n\nRésumé \n Les chercheurs et chercheuses en éducation méd icale ont de plus en plus recours aux méthodes de revue de la littérature et de synthèse des connaissances. En effet\, une récente analyse bibliomét rique a révélé que le nombre de revues parues dans les principales publica tions d’éducation médicale avait augmenté de 2 620 % au cours des vingt de rnières années (Maggio et coll.\, 2020). Les deux types les plus fréquents sont la revue systématique et l’examen de la portée. Malheureusement\, le s autres types de revues\, comme la revue narrative\, sont souvent considé rés comme non scientifiques et sans valeur par le milieu de l’éducation mé dicale. Il en résulte une vision erronée des méthodes de synthèse de la li ttérature (le comment) et des raisons de dresser une synthèse (le pourquoi ). Cette situation pose un sérieux problème\, car notre communauté ferme l a porte à des approches pouvant générer un lot considérable de nouvelles c onnaissances. Le recours excessif à la revue systématique et à l’examen de la portée que l’on constate actuellement s’explique principalement par la familiarité des éducateurs médicaux avec ces méthodes. En effet\, ils con naissent les types de questions auxquelles ces revues répondent\, la façon de les réaliser ainsi que le degré de rigueur auquel ils peuvent s’attend re. S’ils étaient mieux informés sur les autres types de revues de la litt érature\, ils en feraient probablement usage.\n\nAu terme de cet atelier\, les participants et participantes seront en mesure de : \n\n· distinguer huit différents types de revues de la littérature : revue systématique\, e xamen de la portée\, examen réaliste\, revue narrative\, examen critique\, étude de l’état actuel\, examen par intégration de théories et méta-ethno graphie\;\n\n· décrire\, pour chaque type de revue\, les questions de rech erche auxquelles elles répondent\, la façon de les réaliser et les marqueu rs de rigueur.\n\n \n DTSTART:20250123T140000Z DTEND:20250123T160000Z SUMMARY:IHSE Meeting URL:/ihse/channels/event/ihse-meeting-361588 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
