      ab: Purpose To provide an overview of the reflective learning cycle, as well as common reflective learning models, as a means of informing future implementation of reflective learning assignments in medical imaging curriculum. Methods Journal articles were searched for in Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate, as well as the university's library databases using the keywords reflective learning, Kolb's model of learning, reflective learning practices in health care, and reflective learning in radiography. Out of 19 articles found, 12 articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results The literature search yielded results in health care education, nursing, medicine, medical imaging and radiography, pharmacy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Discussion Studies have shown that reflection is an integral aspect of learning and has substantial implications for learners' clinical practice. Reflection is a cognitive process that facilitates learning, assists in the understanding and application of knowledge to clinical situations, and develops new clinical knowledge in student radiographers. When reflective activities, such as journaling, portfolios, and problem-based learning, are scaffolded throughout the curriculum, students develop critical reflection skills that positively affect their clinical practice. Conclusion Reflective learning practices can positively affect student learning, clinical decision-making skills, and patient outcomes. When reflective learning activities are incorporated throughout the curriculum, students are more effectively able to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice. In addition, the reflective learning process allows learners to examine their clinical experiences while providing context for application and future clinical practice and continued learning.
