“…This trend is evidenced by the special issue of the British Medical Journal on racism in medicine which was published in February 2020. 46 It is noteworthy that the voice of the dental profession is not prominent in the debate on racism. There is a paucity of published data on dental students' attainment, which warrants a more open and transparent approach to data sharing, including the differential performance based on protected characteristics of students.…”

“…In recent years the BMA has openly discussed the issue and strongly advocated for equal and respectful treatment of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic trainee doctors in the country. They have also conducted surveys and studies on minority doctors' experiences of discrimination and racism (15). India will need several such studies, considering the multiple forms of discrimination and the geographic variation we have in cultures.…”

Abuse and bullying during medical residency are common experiences of most doctors in India, but do not seem to have invited any major corrective action from the leaders of the medical profession. This kind of abuse is also on many occasions fuelled by prevalent misconceptions around caste hierarchies and the supposed non-deserving nature of students who enter the profession using reservations. The professional leadership has similarly turned a blind eye to the dominance of such damaging ideas and myths on college and hospital campuses, which in unfortunate instances have led to agonising mental torture and deaths by suicide of harassed students. The medical profession needs to collectively act on workplace abuse as well as casteist harassment before it is too late.

“…Broader contemporary issues also directly impinge on the student's experience. The recent 'Black Lives Matter' movement has increased recognition of continuing discrimination against students of colour-by faculty, other students and by patients (Rao 2020).

Health professions education is that part of the education system which applies educational philosophy, theory, principles and practice in a complex relationship with busy clinical services, where education is not the primary role. While the goals are clear—to produce the health workforce that society needs to improve health outcomes—both education and healthcare systems continue to evolve concurrently amidst changes in knowledge, skills, population demographics and social contracts. In observing a significant anniversary of this journal, which sits at the junction of education and healthcare systems, it is appropriate to reflect on how the relationship is evolving. Health professions educators must listen to the voices of regulators, employers, students and patients when adapting to new service delivery models that emerge in response to pressures for change. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is one example of disruptive change, but other factors, such as population pressures and climate change, can also drive innovations that result in lasting change. Emerging technology may act as either a servant of change or a disruptor. There is a pressing need for interdisciplinary research that develops a theory and evidence base to strengthen sustainability of change.
