Abstract

Co-creation in health professions education (HPE) is gaining momentum as a vital approach to enhancing educational practices and outcomes. As the healthcare landscape evolves, the need for innovative educational models that actively involve learners and other stakeholders in educational design has become increasingly important. This innovative approach promotes learner engagement and ensures that educational programs are more aligned with the realities of contemporary healthcare delivery. Integrating diverse perspectives in co-creation initiatives aims to enrich the educational experience by harnessing the unique insights and experiences of all participants—learners, educators, and healthcare professionals. Though co-creation offers numerous benefits, its success depends on effective partnership dynamics. By considering the insights of participants, moderators, and organizers (also known as triangulation approach), we can identify facilitators, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. Triangulation refers to the process of using multiple sources or methods to gather data and insights. This comprehensive approach will help optimize co-creation initiatives and maximize their benefits for learners and educators alike. This commentary emphasizes the importance of integrating diverse perspectives to enhance our understanding of the co-creation process.
