Time as a Teacher: Using Historical Analysis to Shape Professional Identity in Health Professions Education.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Health professions education (HPE) is undergoing rapid transformation, yet the historical foundations of healthcare remain underexplored in most educational curricula. This paper presents a conceptual and instructional innovative model designed to integrate historical inquiry into HPE, with a focus on geriatric care and rehabilitation. Grounded in transformative learning theory, the model uses historical materials as disorienting dilemmas to challenge students' assumptions about aging, healthcare, and professional identity. Implemented within a blended learning format, the framework includes asynchronous engagement with curated historical sources, collaborative in-class analysis, and individual reflection. The pilot, launched in the Master of Science in Physiotherapy, Specialty Sports physiotherapy at Bern University of Applied Sciences, is designed to be adaptable across healthcare disciplines, including medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, and public health. The model promotes critical reflection, empathy, and ethical awareness by exposing students to the socio-cultural evolution of elderly care. It highlights how societal narratives have shaped clinical priorities, funding structures, and professional roles, insights often missing from traditional HPE. By engaging with historical voices and contexts, learners develop a deeper understanding of the contingent nature of healthcare practices and the importance of socially responsive care. Scalable and adaptable, the framework aligns with global trends in competency-based education, digital integration, and lifelong learning. It provides a replicable approach for institutions aiming to enrich curricula with historical depth and foster transformative learning. Ultimately, this model equips future health professionals to navigate complex clinical environments with contextual awareness, ethical principles, and a historically informed outlook.
