Abstract

New interventions in health professions education (HPE) are often widely disseminated before their feasibility, acceptability and potential effectiveness have been adequately evaluated. This creates uncertainty for educators and curriculum decision-makers about whether these interventions have promise for progression, with adoption or adaptation and further evaluation into their own educational setting. This How to … article provides a practical guide to designing and reporting feasibility, acceptability and potential effectiveness studies for early-stage evaluation of new interventions in HPE.
