Description
Lifelong learning is a crucial aspect of junior doctors’ transition into the workplace. As a result, preparation for future learning has become a significant topic in Medical Education in recent years. In this context, the concept of Adaptive Expertise has gained traction. This concept describes how we apply our knowledge and what we can do when faced with new and unfamiliar situations, which are common during transitions. This talk will aim to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of Adaptive Expertise. Additionally, it will explore how workplace-based learning can promote adaptive practices that prepare physicians to effectively handle new situations and knowledge.
Presenter

Maria Louise Gamborg is a clinical psychologist with training in geriatric psychiatry. She holds a PhD from Aarhus University in Denmark, where she explored how young doctors make decisions regarding geriatric patients in the workplace. Specifically, her research focuses on how novice doctors use adaptive practices when dealing with unfamiliar or challenging tasks. Since 2023, she has been working as an Assistant Professor at Aarhus University, where her research is focused on applying the findings from her PhD to workplace-based learning and how we can develop expert adaptive skills through simulation-based training.

9JunGenerative AI has disrupted the assumption that producing academic artifacts reflects learner engagement. This presentation argues that the integrity conversation, while understandable, is the least generative response available to us. The more important question — one that AI has finally made impossible to defer — is what the developmental activities of health professions education actually are. -
9JunThe rapid advancement of generative AI is poised to fundamentally transform the landscape of health professions education and practice. Join us in this timely and important conversation as we jointly envision the future of health professions education in the age of generative AI. -
