General Info

A one-day annual conference held for doctors in training and allied healthcare professionals with varied interest and experience in medical education.
The event will include 1 keynote speaker and 1 panel, opportunity for presentations from delegates as both oral and posters about their current work in medical education, and 2 workshops. There will be parallel workshop sessions run by a combination of selected delegate applications and invited workshops, in separate in person and virtual formats.
This year’s conference is based on planetary sustainability, a hot topic at the moment, and how we link this into our medical education. This will showcase the diversity of medical education for those in early career and be an opportunity to hear about senior educators careers and get tips and advice for developing their own medical education journey.
