About the event

Welcome to Stockholm! We are thrilled to host an in-person congress held at Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.

We are offering!

A diverse and inspiring program that features five domains designed to enchance health professions education. From early to advanced career including educators, leaders and researchers.

Who should attend?

Leaders who want to advance health professions education from all over the world, from any health profession, and at any stage of career, across the continuum. No formal leadership position is needed. If you want to influence HPE, you are welcome!

Description

Health professions education (HPE) is a critical societal enterprise that prepares health care providers to serve every country’s population. Despite incredible progress in the development of HPE around the world, there are a number of lingering challenges and sticking points that prevent HPE from advancing further in compassionate, effective, evidence-informed and context-adapted professional education. This new and exciting conference aims to gather HPE “influencers”–those seeking to impact HPE in a positive way–to debate contemporary controversies and promising new ideas.

This meeting will be unlike other HPE conferences. Attendance is limited to 300 people only. The aim is to have voices and perspectives from multiple health professions and from every continent. Sessions will be dynamic, interactive, filled with debates, skill-building, consensus-forming, and diverse. All participants will be invited to submit an abstract on high-impact research or an emerging idea.

The Edge Group: You will be placed in small multuprofessional group from the start of the meeting that will function as your home during the MedEd-days and will meet every morning. The idea is to extend your network and to provide you a chance to reflect and discuss in a peer-to-peer environment,

Provocations: This is the ”plenary session” but the speakers will not give traditional lecutres, rather introduce you to a topic and invite you to frame topic and explore its function further. Aim here is to understand, explore, not to showcase or ”prove”. Co-production and a high level of participation is central to the entire meeting.

FireSideChatGroups: This is the parallell sessions in which various toics will be discussed.

TheMedEdEdge-networking reception: This is the opening networking reception
