Health Professions Educator Conference: How to Make Learning Stick?

Continuing Education for the Spectrum of Health Professions Educators

Our focus for the conference this year is to highlight effective strategies to help learning stick and become long-lasting through the use of newer techniques such as AI and Social Media as well as seemingly traditional techniques such as chalk talks and effective engagement strategies.

Come join us for this exciting opportunity to learn practical methods, tools, and approaches in your work as health professions educators. Our current plan is to have this be a hybrid conference. Come learn from experts within our community!
