Health professions education is undergoing a significant transformation as institutions respond to evolving healthcare demands, technological advancements, and growing calls for socially accountable, contextually relevant training. Traditional models of teaching and learning are often insufficient to prepare health professionals for complex, resource-constrained, and rapidly changing healthcare environments, particularly in the Global South. Despite growing interest in educational innovation, a persistent gap remains between educational theory and its practical implementation within health professions education. Many programmes continue to rely on conventional pedagogical approaches that may not fully support competency-based education, self-directed learning, or interprofessional collaboration. This scholarly book publication responds to this need by investigating themes such as curriculum transformation in health professions education, clinical training and work-integrated learning, and technology and the digital future of health professions education. This volume is more than a compilation of research; it is an invitation to educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to engage in sustained dialogue and collaborative action. As healthcare systems worldwide confront unprecedented demands, the future of health professions education depends on our willingness to innovate thoughtfully and inclusively.
