Join the ISME Praxis Series
A special series of talks hosted by Dean Nickerson highlighting opportunities for research to inform what we do in medical education
Praxis is practice informed by theory, research, and reflection. The 2025-26 ISME Praxis Series features speakers from the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences who have undertaken research
that informs a range of educational practices in health professions education. Each speaker will share an overview of their scholarly activities and describe how that work influences their practice as educators. Each talk is introduced by Dean Nickerson and
concludes with a Q&A and conversation about how this research might apply more specifically in medical education.
How Stress Can Inform What We Do in Medical Education
"Stress" is frequently equated with an adverse experience in medical education. However, stress itself does not have a specific connotation. Stress exists in a lot of what we do and cannot be feared or avoided. Instead,
we need to teach our trainees how to embrace and harness stress for positive outcomes.
