Summary: Medical education research is deeply rooted in objectivity, evidence-based methods, and clinical certainty. However, the overwhelming confidence that western science holds as the supreme epistemology in health professions research and education is questionable. The dominance of western epistemic frames affects how research is conducted and what is considered important in health professions education. This may silence marginalized voices and prevent legitimate contributions to the field.
