AbstractMedicine and the other healing arts advance through new knowledge, improved practices, and increasing engagement with their responsibilities to the patients and societies that they serve. Does the education of doctors and other healthcare professionals lead in these changes, or does it follow?Failures in education are often blamed for defects in health care systems. The Lancet Commission Report on Education of Health Professions for the 21st Century, published in late 2010 (Frenk et al. 2010), argued that education needed transformation to meet the needs of health systems. This commentary argues that there is not a general crisis in education of health professions. Education often leads, rather than follows. Problems in healthcare require engagement by politicians and decision makers in a concerted and coordinated plan for capacity building in education, and for targeted solutions to problems of inadequate resources. Health professionals, and education systems, should continue to lead and innovate, through initiatives for the improvement of institutions and programmes.

Purpose This paper examines entrepreneurship education (EE) in Brazil and Scotland and unpacks convergent and divergent practices in vocational education (VE). The authors evaluate access to EE in VE and suggest and how it might be advanced in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA); interpretative analysis of interviewee experiences with 12 educationalists, in management and academic roles, from two Brazilian and two Scottish VE institutions, contextual findings inform advances. Findings In Scotland, there is a well-defined entrepreneurial ecosystem where government policy and partners support and monitor provision of and accessibility to EE. In Brazil, government does not regulate policy provision of EE, and there is no defined entrepreneurial ecosystem of partners. IPA enabled the authors to examine divergent entrepreneurial education provision and evaluate accessibility to EE in Brazil. Research limitations/implications Implications include ways to advance educational inclusivity and accessibility for VE students in Brazil and a call to address availability through policy is underpinned by empirical data. Contextual characteristics of the study might be considered limiting but address a broad call to contribute to EE in VE settings. Practical implications The findings of this study equip educationalists with new knowledge about advancing EE provision and delivery in VE, which in turn supports inclusivity. Originality/value The authors contribute directly to an agenda that will create impact for young Brazilians through accessible EE models that place EE in VE at the forefront of social change in Brazil.
