1 INTRODUCTION Health professions education (HPE) research aims to improve the preparation of trainees for future healthcare practice and to transform the systems in which HPE occurs. This research often lays the foundation for educational innovations and their evaluation. When publishing our research and innovation projects, we do so in hopes that others can learn from them, use them in their own research or practice and build on them. In other words, we aim for transferability in our work.

And the number of caregivers is only expected to increase.
