Summary

Introduction

Reflection is defined as a goal-oriented process in which the aim is to critically inquire, evaluate and re-examine practice (Barrett, Kajamaa and Johnston, 2020).

It is suspected that by offering a more timely, challenging, and engaging learning experience, students will begin to understand the necessity of personal introspection, and the duty they have in the delivery of equitable healthcare.
