ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

Education – it’s so much more than what happens in the presence of our learners. Join us at the 12th 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, Adapting and Thriving: Collaborative Approaches for Educators and Students in Evolving Health Science Education, invites us to explore strategies that foster adaptability, resilience, and connection in health sciences education.

We’re thrilled to offer a diverse range of sessions, with topics such as: 

  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration – Fostering teamwork across health professions and integrating interprofessional learning

  • Critical Thinking in the Digital Age – Developing digital literacy and supporting independent reasoning

  • Faculty-Student Partnerships – Promoting well-being, resilience, and mentorship

  • Experiential Learning – Using simulation, service learning, and real-world application to deepen student engagement

  • Adaptive Teaching – Implementing flexible approaches in today’s dynamic clinical and educational settings

Don’t miss this opportunity to grow as an educator and connect with colleagues across the health sciences.
