Medical education

Medical educators endeavour to foster patient-centred learning. Although studies of patient-educators report general increases in patient-centredness, no formal review of students' reflections on the role of patients in their education has yet been undertaken. Our research questions were: (i) What themes might be identified through a qualitative analysis of students' reflective writing on patient-centred education? (ii) What are common students' perceptions regarding patients as educators? ⋯ Students' reflections on their experiences of patient-educators cover an important and broad range of key concepts in patient-centred care that are well aligned with patient-generated conceptualisations of patient-centred care.
