Five concepts to strengthen workplace-based learning

Abstract

Workplace learning in medicine includes central con-cepts, sometimes confusing and interchangeable, such as context, environment, workplace, culture, and learning climate. Each concept is supported by diverse theoretical frameworks from the organizational and positive psychol-ogy, education, sociology, and organizational management fields, among others. Understanding these concepts is central to maximizing learning in the workplace.This document offers a review of these concepts and proposes a framework for their integration in the field of medical education.This is an Open Access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). © 2024, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
