ENCOUNTER unique, untold stories that
EMPOWER you to embark on your own Health Professions Education scholarship

Every scholar and piece of scholarship has a backstory: all the decisions, moments, and emotions that are critical but often silent and invisible.
The Backstory Podcast breaks the silence by sharing cutting-edge health professions education scholarship and inviting listeners behind the scenes to hear from scholars themselves as they tell their side of the story.
Experience a truly co-creative format where scholars become active collaborators, listening to hosts’ initial analysis and then directly responding, correcting, and expanding the narrative with their own unique backstories.
Join hosts Drs. Hannah Kakara Anderson, Justin Bullock, and Ben Kinnear and guest scholars in a co-creative format as they go behind the scenes. Learn from scholars themselves as they tell their backstories: all the decisions, moments, and emotions that are critical but often silent and invisible in the final, polished manuscripts or conference presentations.



The Backstory podcast will keep you informed about cutting edge health professions education research while also giving a behind-the-scenes look at the thinking and process of a diverse range of Health Professions Education (HPE) scholars.
