Abstract
Social learning theories posit that individuals learn in part by observing others and modeling their behavior. An additional key component is that learning occurs in a social context through interaction, shared experience, and reinforcement. Thoughtfully incorporating principles of social learning theory will enrich health professions education and help develop professionals ready for today's team-based, collaborative clinical practice. The social environment is a key determinant of what and how students learn. By harnessing the power of observation, modeling, social reinforcement, and experiences, educators can maximize their impact. Social learning theory provides an important framework for understanding learning in the health professions and optimizing professional preparation.
