ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
Education – it’s so much more than what happens in the presence of our learners. Join us at the 13th Annual Education Symposium, hosted by the Academy of Health Science Educators, and invest in your teaching through networking, collaboration, and engaging learning experiences.
This year’s theme, Teaching What Matters Most: Human Skills in Health Sciences Education.
We’re thrilled to offer a diverse range of sessions, with topics such as:
-
Durable Skills in Healthcare – Preparing learners to navigate complexity, uncertainty, (mis-)trust, and real-world decision-making under ambiguity
-
Human Responsibility in a Digital Environment – Supporting learners in critically appeasing information, recognizing limitations of our knowledge, and applying independent judgment under uncertainty
-
Connection, Discord, and Mutual Respect in Learning – Creating relational, reciprocal, responsible, and engaging learning environments
-
Leveraging AI Responsibility in High States Healthcare Environments – Technical and non-technical skills to integrate AI in clinical practice and teaching
-
Interprofessional Collaboration – Strategies for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across health disciplines
-
What We Assess & What We Miss – Approaches to assessing durable human skills like relationship building, innovation, cultural humility, self-awareness, empathy, and professionalism
Don’t miss this opportunity to grow as an educator and connect with colleagues across the health sciences.
