It’s our annual infamous Holiday Episode, where we find the quirkiest papers in health professions education! These are the papers that we couldn’t resist talking about, even if they’re not the most rigorous or relevant to our practice. These are the papers that will make you say “Wow, I can’t believe this got into the literature!” We like to have some fun and celebrate the diversity and creativity of our field. And who knows, maybe you’ll learn something new or get inspired by some of these quirky papers. So, without further ado, let’s turn to our elves and see what do they have for us! What are the oddest papers you have noticed in the last year? Here are the hosts’ choice: Lara found a paper that addresses an age-old superstition in medicine…Don’t be that learner that says this word!Linda found a paper that asks if all the walking her fellow Internists do on the wards makes them better doctors??Jason found a paper that totally justifies how he watches educational videos!Jon found a clever paper that looked a scrub colours and competence!Jason had a surprise bonus paper just for Jon…Episode webpage Episode Elfs: Lara Varpio, Jason Frank, Jonathan Sherbino, Linda Snell Technical Producer: Samuel Lundberg Executive Producer: Teresa Sörö Production of Unit for teaching and learning at Karolinska Institutet
