Amongst many impacts, the COVID pandemic forced rapid changes in medical education. Infection control measures including social distancing, restrictions on meetings, and limits on patient contact profoundly affected traditional teaching activities.  These impacts included the shift to computer-based teaching sessions, restrictions on bedside and physical exam teaching, and changes in learner experience.  Despite these challenges the medical education community made amazing adaptations to preserve key aspects of learning.  Distance learning was implemented rapidly, and educators quickly pivoted to new formats.

This year’s session aims to create a space to reflect on these changes, and consider their benefits and shortcomings.  Shifting our focus to the future, we will discuss what should be kept and what needs to be reintroduced in terms of teaching formats, content and objectives.  Building on the ICRE 2022 theme, the Scholarly Conversations Program will allow participants to engage in discussions on this topic over dinner, led by a panel of international leaders in Medical Education. In a highly interactive format, participants will explore together what key actionable elements how to improve clinical learning environments that are practical and feasible.

To engage a community of educational leaders, program administrators, and researchers in a scholarly discussion about how to reinvent medical education in a post pandemic world.

On Friday, October 28, the four KeyLIME (Key Literature in Medical Education) co-hosts (Drs. Jason Frank, Linda Snell, Jonathan Sherbino, and Lara Varpio) will discuss the key points of the medical education articles they’ve selected for this live session. Articles that are important, innovative, or that will impact your educational practice will be discussed. The co-hosts encourage audience participation and questions!

The audio from this live session will be recorded and integrated into the weekly KeyLIME podcast schedule, produced by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

This session is designed for clinician educators, medical education scholars, medical teachers and trainees with an interest in up-to-date, new, and important literature in medical education. After listening to the podcasts, listeners will be able to: keep up to date on current literature in medical education; discuss research methodologies used; and apply the issues discussed to their own context and daily education practice.

For questions, please contact the KeyLIME Secretariat at keylime@royalcollege.ca.

As seating is limited for this event, pre-registration and a nominal fee of $25.00 is required. Lunch will be provided.

Targeted at competence committee chairs, this forum explores the vital role this position plays within a competency-based curriculum. Through interactive break-out sessions, attendees will work through typical scenarios and develop the skills to lead and support the work of a competence committee. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss common challenges and strategies to manage those challenges. The session will cover the basics of setting up and running a competence committee, but it will go on to explore longer term considerations like maintaining engagement and ensuring professional development for committee members, continuous quality improvement (CQI) and program evaluation of committee decisions and processes. This forum acknowledges the relatively new role of the Competence Committee Chair and is therefore designed to encourage the sharing of resources and best practices. Networking opportunities are a major feature and benefit of attendance. For more information, please contact Megan McComb at mmccomb@royalcollege.ca.
