... Raechel Soicher's presentation is covered in the first two sections, where she describes implementation science in the unique space of health professions education and the current state of evidence for specific pedagogy used in the health professions, on which implementation science research would be built. In the third section, health professional educators who use, or have used, implementation science offer their reflections on its use as part of a panel discussion.

... An Example of Implementation Science in HPE To illuminate the process of implementation science, Soicher shared an example from her own work implementing a utility value intervention at Oregon State University. The utility value intervention, she explained, is a brief essay writing assignment in which students are asked to make explicit connections between course content and their own lives.

... Flipped Learning Soicher described flipped learning as a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter (FLN, 2014)

... Soicher pointed workshop participants toward two resources identifying best practices for flipped learning: Nine Design Principles of Flipped Classrooms (Kim et al., 2014) , and Recommendations for Implementing a Flipped Classroom (Rotellar and Cain, 2016)

... The goal is to "prepare an expert learner, not just dump knowledge into their head." Another challenge, added N ­ atalie D ­ ouglas, professor, communication sciences and disorders, at Central Michigan University, is a lack of attention to the effect of the organizational context and climate in health professions practice. She explained that HPE classrooms often focus on preparing students to perform a certain evidence-based practice but do not prepare them to be cognizant of how the practice might be affected by factors outside themselves.

... The Society for Implementation Research Collaboration has a m ­ embersonly assessment database, which provides information about reliability and validity of measures for implementation outcomes, said Soicher. Is implementation science relevant to clinical rotations, or is it only applicable to the didactic content of HPE?

... For example, a flipped classroom model makes content available to students to digest at their own pace, and problem-based learning can make room for hearing diverse voices. However, she noted, faculty development is essential in order to realize the promise of these strategies.
