Positioning the Work of Health Professions Education Scholarship Units: How Canadian Directors Harness Institutional Logics Within Institutional Orders to Convey Unit Legitimacy.

PURPOSE: Health professions education scholarship unit (HPESU) leaders often struggle to articulate their impact within local contexts. Previous research has described what markers of success and institutional logics to consider when crafting statements of impact; there is a need to clarify how HPESU leaders convey their messages to navigate competing demands. This study examined how leaders argue the legitimacy of their HPESUs' activities.
