2:00–3:30 PM — Dr. Jana Lazor Memorial Faculty Development Lecture: Planetary Health & Compassionate Care
Guest speakers: Nicole Simms, Ross Upshur
As climate change reshapes the landscape of health and care delivery, compassionate care must extend beyond individual patients to encompass communities, ecosystems, and future generations. This keynote explores how planetary health can be integrated into education, training, and professional development as a core dimension of ethical, responsive practice. Focusing on the needs of practicing professionals and health delivery organizations, we will examine key planetary health content and concepts, and consider how these can be delivered through flexible, practice-oriented learning approaches. These include case-based learning, interprofessional collaboration, and land-and place-based learning, which deepen understanding of the connections between health, environment, and stewardship.

12MayIn this presentation, two fundamental human characteristics underlying many interconnected problems in an era of increasing complexity serve as the starting point for a psychological solution. The Extended Professional Identity Theory (EPIT) was developed to address collaborative challenges rooted in the very human tendencies that generate them. It conceptualizes interprofessional identity as a social construct from a psychological perspective.
