This column is intended to address the kinds of knotty problems and dilemmas with which many scholars grapple in studying health professions education. In this article, we address the dilemma of engaging with foundational works versus depending on summary articles. We argue that an over-dependence on secondary sources can lead to prejudices and unquestioned assumptions, and limit the constructive development of our field. We urge health professions education scholars to honour the original literature not just for their own learning and understanding, but so that the field can move forward in developing theory and methodology.
本专栏旨在探讨许多学者在研究健康职业教育时所面临的棘手问题和困境。在本文中，我们探讨了与基础作品接轨与依赖综述文章之间的困境。我们认为，过度依赖二手资料可能导致偏见和未经质疑的假设，并限制我们领域的建设性发展。我们敦促健康职业教育学者不仅为了自己的学习和理解，也要为了使该领域在发展理论和方法方面取得进展，尊重原始文献。
