Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Medical Education
  • Primary Care Education

Background:

  • Belongingness is crucial for student motivation, identity formation, and mental health in health professions education.
  • Existing literature shows a lack of research on belongingness in medical and primary care education.
  • Exposure to primary care settings may increase medical graduates' entry into general practice training, potentially mediated by a sense of belonging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the concept of belongingness in health professions education.
  • To identify potential applications of belongingness principles for enhancing primary care teaching.
  • To examine how belongingness influences medical students' engagement with primary care.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review of the literature on belongingness in health professions education was conducted.
  • The study analyzed existing research to identify gaps, particularly in primary care.
  • Theoretical frameworks, including Wenger's social learning model, were used to interpret findings.

Main Results:

  • A significant role for belongingness in student motivation and identity development was identified.
  • A notable deficiency in research concerning belongingness within primary care education was revealed.
  • The potential for belongingness to mediate the association between primary care exposure and general practice training entry was suggested.

Conclusions:

  • There is a need to increase research on belongingness in primary care medical education.
  • Understanding and fostering belongingness can lead to practical improvements in primary care teaching.
  • Applying social learning theories can help educators cultivate a stronger sense of belonging among students in primary care settings.
