Failure is a powerful teacher. But, instead of waiting for it to happen spontaneously during training, health professions educators are thinking deeply about "designing for failure" or "allowing failure" to deliberately harness its potential in instructional and clinical settings. During these rounds, the speakers will discuss two examples using failure in health professions education.

In this presentation the speaker will 1) offer a brief historical overview of evidence based medicine (EBM) with a focus on what it means to practice EBM and what role health professions education plays in helping realize EBM’s core aims; 2) explore whether the teaching of EBM needs to change to reflect changes in clinical practice and education since the movement’s inception. The speaker will then offer avenues that may be pursued that encompass a renewed agenda for teaching EBM.

In this presentation, our speakers will explore how varying organizational contexts can invite or constrain possibilities for evaluation work – particularly in relation to how evaluation can contribute to system transformation and social justice. They will share recent research on the tensions that evaluators in the academic health sciences routinely encounter as they conduct evaluation while navigating accreditation and other institutional demands.

There is much discussion of 'best evidence' or 'best practices' as a way of sharing and making use of the wisdom and experience of others. In this session we will consider the contextual and constrained nature of evidence and practice, the importance of considering context and contingency, and the ways in which scholars and practitioners may be equipped to think differently about problems and their solutions in the education of tomorrow's physicians and health care practitioners.

This two-day Course Design Institute (CDI) introduces frameworks and practical strategies to offer more inclusive, accessible, and flexible learning opportunities to your students using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

Please join us for BPER Reads, our annual "Battle of the Papers" where Beck McNeil and Jordan Holmes will each champion which paper of 2023 is the one paper all health professional educators must read.

In this BPER, we will tap into our own lived experiences to better understand our individual and collective motivations to engage in health equity work, and we will explore the possibilities of working together, today, to help create a healthier, more just world for all.

A review of some of the hypes and hopes associated with technology-enhanced medical education - from e-learning and simulation to AI-augmented learning.

In this talk, the speaker will use a critical feminist lens and relational cultural theory to contextualise why love is dismissed and perceived as deviant and threatening in higher education spaces, and invite us to envision what love, as a transformative practice, can offer health professions education, and indeed, ourselves.

This talk will aim to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of Adaptive Expertise. Additionally, it will explore how workplace-based learning can promote adaptive practices that prepare physicians to effectively handle new situations and knowledge.

In this presentation, Dr. LeBlanc will describe the state of research on the relationship between emotions and the cognitive skills required for learning and patient care, followed by a discussion about the implications for health professions education and strategies to support learning during emotionally-laden learning situations.

In this talk, Dr. Laura Nimmon will describe her research studies that reveal the powerful influence of social structures occurring in the educational and professional practices of the health professions. This body of work widens the scope of our collective vision beyond learners and healthcare providers as independent with distinct expertise.

How will AI transform what it means to be an expert healthcare professional? Join the conversation to explore how health professions educators can prepare the next generation for a world where expertise extends across human-AI partnerships, and where effective patient care emerges from the thoughtful orchestration of both human and artificial intelligence.

This rounds will presented by members of the CFD Mentorship Community of Practice and will showcase the breadth and diverse nature of mentoring programs being delivered across the University of Toronto university, departments and hospitals.
