Understanding learning theories helps academics and researchers recognize the nature of knowledge acquisition and how to measure learning outcomes.

Health professions education (HPE) is the field of expertise applied to the education of health care practitioners which caters to the specific requirements of students and is used to develop, implement, and evaluate all aspects of health professions curriculum ( 1).
