The theme of TISLEP 2022 is À Présent: Leadership for a World Redefined.

The International Summit on Leadership Education for Physicians (TISLEP) brings together different groups engaged in physician leadership development worldwide. These include learners, educators, health professionals, and business faculty. Hence an international community of practice committed to advancing healthcare leadership education has emerged.

This year our program will focus on leadership skills  to navigate in our current environments. The combination of severe healthcare staffing shortages and backlogs for care, the immediate post-syndemic timing, and the social and political realities of the past two years collectively make new skills necessary for effective leadership.

Our interactive plenaries will explore leadership through different lenses (international, political, social) and allow plenty of time for discussion to enrich the integration of these perspectives into participants’ practices.

The workshops, abstracts and innovations sections will provide smaller group learning with interaction and active learning throughout where bold and new or tried and true approaches to leadership will be shared. We invite you to submit your work and share with others for feedback, dissemination and to create excellence.

This pre-conference event ends with a reflection on the day, what has been shared or learned from others and how to effect practice change moving forward. Join us for a fabulous day!

(Formerly known as the Clinician Educator Program)

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.

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.
