Abstract:
New interventions in health professions education (HPE) are often widely disseminated before their feasibility, acceptability and potential effectiveness have been adequately evaluated. This creates uncertainty for educators and curriculum decision-makers about whether these interventions have promise for progression, with adoption or adaptation and further evaluation into their own educational setting. This How to … article provides a practical guide to designing and reporting feasibility, acceptability and potential effectiveness studies for early-stage evaluation of new interventions in HPE.
