Health Professions Educators Conference

Competency-based Education for the Spectrum of Health Professions Education

Our focus for this annual conference is on competency-based education (CBE). Participants will learn basic principles and concepts, and compare best practices as well as practical approaches for CBE across the learning continuum and across professions.
