Authors: HMI Chat team

 This #HMIchat moderated by Jeff Wong (@jwonguprcmeded) and Mark Stephens (@mbstephensmd), from Penn State Hershey (@PennStHershey), in January 2018 focused on #DesignThinking in medical education (#MedEd) and health professions education (#HPE). This topic especially hit home with the HMI Chat team (@teresasoro @kreutermd and me (@erhall1)) given #DesignThinking is grounded in “abductive logic” which facilitates a growth mindset of “what might be” rather than “what might have been.” The @HarvardMacy #HMIChat community wholeheartedly embraces a “what might be” approach and imagines the possibilities as we wrestle with hot topics in medical education with subject matter experts and international colleagues. 

So how better to reflect on the a chat about #DesignThinking then using the key concepts of design thinking highlighted in the #HMIChat?

As stated by @TChanMD,



It is through listening, learning, and the #HMIChat community was able to understand (discover, define, and interpret) #DesignThinking: .  



to move the discussion to focusing on possibilities and creating ideas:



which fosters a community with a mindset driven by innovation, creativity, and curiosity:



and a culture in which failure is invited:



With the end result greater than the sum of its parts:



why not utilize #DesignThinking as a “secret sauce” in #MedEd and #HPE:



Thank you @HarvardMacy #HMIchat colleagues for engaging and advancing #MedEd & #HPE. It is truly our honor and a privilege.
