This workshop engages participants in activities that review examples of the positive and negative effects of the Hidden Curriculum. Participants are provided with practical tips in keeping track of Hidden Curriculum effects as part of an overarching approach to quality improvement in HPE.

This workshop introduces participants to six paradigms of education relevant and prevalent in HPE. Participants are provided with an overview of each paradigm, how they are related to common education practices in HPE and how awareness of paradigmatic details and differences support aligned teaching/assessment approaches.

This workshop creates space for discussion/critical reflection on the myriad ways patients are and can be involved in HPE. We introduce a conceptual framework for understanding patient involvement, identify goals for involving patients, and discuss practices of patient involvement and their ethical implications.

This workshop will explore and unpack common barriers and insecurities in taking on a more active role of allyship. Participants will complete a structured critical process that culminates in specific strategies for recognizing opportunities for allyship, and practicing and debriefing what to say and//or do.

Participants will have an opportunity to explore the instructional design strategy, productive failure, and how it can support the development of adaptive expertise. We will define productive failure, describe how productive failure has been used in health professions education, and illustrate how participants can use productive failure design approaches in their practice.

Our learning environments can include the classroom, the bedside, the busy hallway, the Zoom room, the learning portal, and the list goes on. How do we establish these “spaces” to optimize the potential for learning? What choices can we make as educators that increase psychological safety in any learning environment?

Are you interested in reducing barriers to learning and responding to the increasing variability amongst students in today’s classroom? This workshop will explore the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) model—a set of principles for curriculum development, engagement and assessment that can help you create an more inclusive learning environment that responds to diverse student needs and learning preferences.

This workshop provides a foundational overview of implementing simulation into current practice by broadly introducing essential concepts of simulation. Participant will explore the various applications of simulation, and identify opportunities to apply simulation into current practice.

This workshop will address social media expression and activities of faculty members. The session will review data about academics’ social media usage, explain the legal landscape in this new area, explore the differences between academic freedom and free speech, and use case studies to illustrate risks and tips to support faculty colleagues engaging in social media.

This workshop defines education scholarship and how this definition is different in HPE than in other fields. Participants will understand the roles they can play on an education scholarship project, and how to make their work scholarly (including finding and using existing HPE literature).
