What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
NHS is one of the largest employers in the world and has a very diverse workforce. Hitherto, conversations about the diverse workforce have focused on a deficit model – addressing issues such as Differential Attainment and Disproportionate number of disciplinary referrals. As a group, IMGs and ethnic minority trianees and workforce members are more likely to face bullying and harassment – adding to the deficit based formulation. This symposium will build on the award winning EDI initiatives of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and demonstrate how a values-based leadership programme can lead to embedding strength and belonging focused approach thus helping foster anti-racism, improve educational attainment and address wider factors leading to workforce inequity.

Session title:
Addressing Differential Attainment in GP Training: an evaluation of a programme of interventions
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
This workshop will present an evaluation of a programme of interventions to address differential attainment in GP training by HEE. Targeted mainly to support IMGs, the workshop will consider best practise along with the enablers and blockers of the programme and how the learning can be applied for all specialties.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. To understand the specific and complex challenges faced by IMGs through their training 2. To design and implement interventions to address differential attainment informed by the experiences of IMGs and establish best practise. 3. To consider the enablers and barriers for the implementation of such a programme and how it may be applied across all specialties in different sectors

Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
This will be an interactive workshop with small group work and discussions. I will check with the delegates what their expectations are from the workshop and re-visit them at the end. I will encourage delegates to bring their shared experiences of addressing differential attainment and support of trainees who have qualified abroad. I will use video recordings as well as Powerpoint slides during the workshop. Above all I will invite participants to share their expertise on interventions in their medical education programmes around successful progress in training, and prevention of differential attainment.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Levelling medical education by addressing differential attainment has been a clear objective for the GMC. Colleges and Deaneries in all four nations for many years. However sadly we have made very little progress over decades and lack a clear consensus of best practise and evaluation of interventions that can actually start to make a difference. This workshop will attempt to upskill attendees on current best practise along with strategies that they will be able to apply to their settings. The programme has only been running for 2 years but it has given us the direction of travel and toolkit to help support learners both at an individual and system level. Although the overall benefits may take some years to be fully realised especially with regard to ARCP and exam outcomes, it is gratifying to see the implementation of best practice across all regions. The ultimate success of the programme will be defined by these outcomes and the elimination of differential attainment and reflected in national trainee satisfaction surveys. Regions need to embed these programmes into “business as usual” facilitated by a dedicated and expanded educator faculty. Furthermore, best practice needs to be available to all IMG trainees, not just for GP, especially as the number of IMG trainees rises across all specialties. This will have huge benefits for both NHSE and the wider healthcare workforce.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
I hope the session will inspire researchers to conduct further research into the causes of differential attainment and interventions to address it across all fields.

The session will consist of breakout groups to put into practice the skills and knowledge learnt – groups will be given a simulation scenario and answer template questions provided which will allow them to explore biopsychosocial causes for the patient’s presentation. Teams will then feed back to each other and to the wider group, and this will be used as basis upon which to build conversation around the value of implementing population health information in simulation-based education.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The session will empower and enable DEMEC attendees to implement population health teaching into their day-to-day simulation-based education provision. This is something our organisation has already started doing to good effect; feedback has been positive, with participants stating how much this enriches the debriefs and adds additional real-world clinical context to enhance the learning experience and patient care.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Two of the speakers are early career researchers – an education fellow in their “F4” year, and a final year medical student.

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The EDI toolkit is an exciting new innovation within Liverpool to provide short, practical examples of where equality, diversity and inclusivity can be addressed within education settings. The toolkit has been piloted within Liverpool and is based upon many hours of discussion and review by healthcare and education practitioners; at the same time it is designed to an evolving work which grows with each input into it. The session will enable the sharing of the good practice we have had the benefit of learning from during the creation of the toolkit, while providing others involved in healthcare education with some practical examples to apply in their own settings.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
One of the authors of the presentation, Dr Vicky Simpson, is an early career researcher (currently an F2 doctor). She has been actively involved in all stages of the creation of the toolkit, its piloting and evaluation, and is a core part of the project team. For attendees, we would hope that she can share her experiences of being involved in a wide ranging educational project so that others may feel inspired to explore similar opportunities linked to their own institutions.

Session title:
Rethinking inclusive recruitment for diverse senior teams
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Creating diversity in senior teams can be challenging. We usually favour educational experience, and create roles which have a significant time commitment, impacting negatively on clinical work. We re-imagined both the role of associate dean, and the recruitment process to effectively introduce diversity into our team.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Think about the diversity present in your own senior teams, whether educational or clinical. 2. Learn about new recruitment methodologies to enhance diversity of applicants and appointees. 3. Understand how to create a talent pipeline and know what skills are likely to be beneficial for different roles within the team.
Session theme:
Educational management and leadership
Does your session specifically target a particular group?
Yes

Postgraduates Managers Administration Nurses, midwives and allied health professionals Policy Makers
Preferred session delivery:

Preferred session format:

40
Have you presented this in the UK this year?
No
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We will start with a poll to understand what recruitment practices attendees already have experience of. There will then be brief presentations both from the recruiters, and the successful candidates from two recruitment processes. Attendees will hear what worked well, and what we could have done to make things even better. They will have the opportunity to ask the successful appointees what led them to apply for the roles, how the recruitment process felt, and what the roles have been like for them so far. They will also be able to ask questions of the recruiters, and share their own experiences.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Genuinely inclusive recruitment has the potential to be one of the most powerful tools we have for improving the quality of the decisions we make, and reducing inequity in the workplace, as well as health inequity more widely. If attendees commit to re-evaluating their own recruitment processes comprehensively, there is a huge potential for positive change.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The session will be led by the early career educators who have been recruited through this inclusive process. These include our Regional Clinical Leadership Fellow, as well as two Associate Postgraduate Deans, both of whom were trainees until 2-3 years ago.

This will depend on the room size and setup. The session will start with a short presentation from the team. Then if the room set-up allows, we will use a World Café method to enable small group discussion with feedback to the plenary. If this is not possible, we will use a combination of polling and Q&A with attendee verbal contributions. To allow attendees to develop their strategies, including barriers and levers for change, we will provide a small, printed pack they can fill in during the session.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Those attending can spend 90 minutes reflecting on their medical education faculty needs, identify areas for change and growth and develop a draft plan for effecting change. This will give them a starting point to take back to their organisations. Sharing positive practices will allow attendees to learn from others and help develop networks. Wider gains from this include improved development of medical education at attending organisations with resultant positive impacts on patient care.

Session title:
What actually works when supporting neuro-diverse postgraduate doctors in training?
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Delegates will hear from trainees with lived experience of neuro-diverse conditions, and the impact that this has had on their training. They will have the opportunity to ask questions and come up with solutions to common problems.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. To improve knowledge of how different conditions impact training experience and outcomes 2. To develop an approach to supporting trainees who have neuro-diverse characteristics but without a diagnosis 3. To understand the strengths of neuro-diverse trainees, and how to support positively
Session theme:
Educational management and leadership
Does your session specifically target a particular group?
Yes
Which audience groups is your session targeting:
Postgraduates Managers Nurses, midwives and allied health professionals Policy Makers
Preferred session delivery:

Maximum number of attendees:
25
Have you presented this in the UK this year?
Yes
If yes, how does your submission build on that work?
Presented to our regional senior educator event through a relatively didactic approach. Since then, we have conducted a survey of supervisors and trainees, which has illustrated the scale of the challenge, and we will discuss the results of this. This session will have a different focus, with opportunity for delegates to hear lived experience case studies from trainees, and work together to suggest solutions.
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We will start and finish with polling to gauge current levels of knowledge and experience. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to work in small groups to develop plans for each trainee case study presented, and to get feedback from the trainees.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Through the use of lived experience case studies, we aim to create empathy and understanding for people living with neuro-diverse conditions. This will have the benefit of starting to de-stigmatise, improve performance due to better support, and get the best out of people who may have valuable qualities which have not been recognised. It will also help our understanding of patients living with these conditions, as well as colleagues. Many of the DEMEC attendees will have neuro-diverse conditions themselves, and they will hopefully find the session empowering.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This will be a trainee-led session, and trainees have been involved at every stage of the wider piece of work we have been undertaking on neuro-diversity. This has included writing new advice for the Lead Employer website, designing a peer support process, and conducting a survey of trainees and educators.

Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
The attendees will be divided into small groups of 5-8 people. Within these groups, attendees will work through various case studies drawn from our own experience. Each case will highlight a particular challenge or potential solution. We will then have a wider discussion of ideas and present how we overcame these issues in reality.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Technology enhanced learning is an expanding area of medical education and is often accompanied by significant costs in procurement and licencing. Understanding how to effectively introduce and integrate them into traditional teaching is vital to ensure cost-effectiveness and usage. This is relevant at all levels of medical education administration from bed-side trainers to regional resources managers.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The session will be led by NHSE fellows. These are all postgraduate trainees from various specialities across the medical and dental spectrum.

Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
It will be workshop format in which delegates would be undertaking group work and discussions to explore and understand the LED Hub model, and complete a gap analysis considering the provisions available within their organisations.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
As the number of international medical graduates joining the medical workforce increases, it is vital that this important group of doctors are offered the right support. Sharing best practice of how this is being proactively managed within a large Acute Trust will help to share ideas and inspire other Trusts and organisations who may be looking to implement something similar.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
In the UK, we have more overseas qualified doctors starting UK clinical practice compared to UK-qualified doctors. It would be important for any researcher in medical education to understand the challenges faced by this important part of the workforce, and the educational approach and scholarship needed to reduce differential attainment in this group of doctors.

Session title:
Designing, Implementing and Running a Place-Based, Professionally Inclusive Generalist Program
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
This workshop will be of broad interest for educators across the NHS. We share and explore the case for a broad definition of ‘Generalism’ and the approach to place-based commissioning which includes the core principle of NHS literacy professionally inclusivity as well as our approach to teaching, learning and assessment.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
(i) Knowledge and Skills: Introduction to place-based commissioning and design of a Generalist program (ii) Knowledge and Behaviours: Importance and execution of a multiprofessional approach focusing on NHS literacy, and key values and principles in being professionally inclusive (iii) Knowledge and Skills: How we integrate different teaching and learning methodologies into learning over time as well as novel learning events

The workshop is designed to be explicitly interactive and engaging using a combination of audience open and directed questions from speakers, device enabled group polling as well as more traditional Q&A. This will mirror and model the educational strategies we use in the program itself.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The workshop offers DEMEC attendees insights into an evolving area of PG MDE that achieves not only a new way of understanding and approach the commissioning and design of learning that is simultaneously both nationally and locally relevant but also in terms of governance how the traditional model can be adapted and instead of a school for a specific specialty it is a specific geography and population that is the prime focus. Whilst we are keen to raise the profile of this program, we offer it as replicable and scalable to the wider medical and health care community. We suggest that this is furthermore, an example of how partner arrangement’s between LEPs and NHS E Education can be reimagined.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This is not the part of our primary planning but we would be willing to discuss this if helpful.

We have been accepted for a more focused poster detailing the Duty Doctor simulation sessions only at the RCGP Conference in October. We plan to develop on this for the DEMEC workshop by demonstrating other simulation modalities and exploring opportunities for similar simulation based training for the wider primary care workforce including staff from other professional groups, as well as demonstrating a structured debrief to explore how simulation based education can be used in a variety of different settings.
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We envisage a workshop where we outline the ‘Duty Doctor’ sessions as well as some of the other simulation sessions we have delivered locally to provide examples of the way simulation can be used in the primary care setting and the benefits it can bring, followed by an interactive demonstration of a non-clinical task with a structured debrief to demonstrate this important part of the simulation prosess to enable exploration of the wider opportunities that this educational modality offers in the primary care space.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
We aim to highlight the use of a variety of low-cost simulation based educational interventions that can be used in environments where simulation has not traditionally been a widely used educational medium and share our learning and experience with other areas who are interested this as an engaging and interactive training tool, which gains good learner evaluation and can be delivered in a variety of ways

Short biography (100 words MAX – note word count below the box)
I am a Bristol based GP and enjoy mixing my clinical activity with a variety of educational opportunities, including medical student teaching and as the BNSSG Training Hub’s Simulation Fellow. The focus of the simulation role is to establish simulation-based education in primary care throughout BNSSG, and we have been doing this by training a number of primary care educators in simulation basics, delivering ‘in-situ’ simulation sessions in GP practices, as well as a number of bespoke simulation sessions with different focuses – e.g. paediatrics, safeguarding, managing challenging conversations for non-clinicians, ‘Duty Doctor’ sessions for GP trainees.
Presentation experience
We presented a poster providing an overview of the simulation program at ‘ASPiH’ (Association for Simulation Practitioners in Healthcare’) 2022 conference and have been accepted to present a poster focused on the Duty Doctor sessions at the RCGP Conference in October 2023.

Session title:
Responding to Sudden Deaths of Doctors or Dentists in Training, a new UK-wide initiative
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Medical and dental education teams may feel apprehensive about dealing with the sudden death of a doctor or dentist in training. This session will provide an opportunity to learn about a new COPMED endorsed package of resources and consider how these can be utilised in all areas of the UK.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
Appraise how medical and dental education teams respond to those bereaved by sudden death and the differing impacts. Apply greater confidence in providing support to, and communicating with people bereaved by sudden or unexpected death. Describe how to support medical and dental education teams to look after themselves and others.

The workshop will include an initial presentation format, followed by the invitation to work in small groups to have peer facilitated conversation and discussions. There will also be the use of Slido, sharing of case study and animated film resources and the opportunity to reflect on the session.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Bereavement care & communication with those who are grieving is core business for many staff groups across health and social care. It is known this can be sad and upsetting for staff and that if bereavement care and communication is poorly handled, there can be the risk of causing additional harm, with negative impact on staff wellbeing. These educational resources seek to improve the preparedness / confidence of medical and dental education staff to communicate in the right way and well. The session will be thoughtfully presented around the impact on medical and dental education teams with a focus on their wellbeing.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This work has been heavily influenced by real-life experiences, including those of doctors in training who have encountered the sudden death of a doctor or dentist in training. Their direct involvement has enabled medical and dental education teams to benefit and learn from experiences of what went well and what could be done differently.

Why we should use the arts in medical education
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Are you curious to experience how poetry, pictures, sculpture, literature and music can be used to learn and maintain the art of medicine? Have you wondered what evidence supports the use of creative activity to benefit health and wellbeing? If so, then this session is for you.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
To experience art to improve their understanding of its value in medical education.

The experience will expose participants to art in various forms with the aim of promoting a lively discussion between individuals in the room. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on the art resources shown and consider how they might be used in their own sphere of work. There will be the opportunity to share their observations and experiences with the audience. Participants will be invited to take part in a creative thinking exercise if they would like to. Time will be allowed for questions.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Art can be many things – a source of delight, a solace, an inspiration; it can challenge the status quo and be a stimulus for change. It can be used in medical education to broaden perspective, raise awareness of other cultures, explore biases, develop compassion, and deepen understanding of what it is to be human. Art can encourage clinicians to stop and think about the person they are caring for and how they care for themselves. It can help people connect with the communities in which they live and work. Medical educators are always seeking out novel ways to facilitate learning and promote wellbeing and so I hope that learning more about how art can be used as a resource for learning will provide a valuable opportunity for attendees. Although the session might just provide time for attendees to relax, be ‘edutained’ and enjoy being emersed in art and creative cognitive activity. Art use in healthcare is supported by robust evidence notably the 2019 WHO HEN Report ‘What is the evidence on the role of the arts in improving health and well-being?’ and is promoted through social prescribing and creative health initiatives. My workshop will provide the opportunity for attendees to learn about this research and to gain a greater understanding of the support and interventions that can be accessed outside the traditional medical model of care. My organisation (Yorkshire and Humber GP School NHSE) has supported and promoted the use of arts in teaching and for the personal development of educators and trainees for many years. The workshop will enable me to showcase examples of innovative teaching supported in my organisation. I have applied to present with the support and encouragement of my Head of School. The topic of the workshop reflects DEMEC’s aims for this year by looking outside traditional communities of practice to the wider world of community-based resources and expertise.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
I do not work with early career researchers but I have supervised a GP Leadership Fellow in Creative Health. I would welcome their attendance and participation in the workshop and be happy to answer their questions during or after the session.

Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
International doctors have a very challenging journey through GP and specialty training. Using a Giant Jenga Tower of Training the workshop will identify the challenges and demonstrate areas where support can be introduced. In addition, the commitment of International Doctors will be emphasised in an intercative and entertaining session.
Learning Objectives

If yes, how does your submission build on that work?
The Jenga Tower demonstrates the greater challenges faced by International Doctors, but will also show what support has been delivered by the GP School in the West Midlands for this group but also supporting UK graduates and other groups (eg neurodiverse groups). It also combines a demonstration of the massive commitment that International Doctors make in order to pursue their training path in the UK.
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
The session involves 3 visual demonstrations; a power point of important bullet points, a giant Jenga Tower of Challenges identifying areas where support is added to stabilize the Tower of Training, plus a measuring scale of the financial and emotional commitment made by doctors in training using metaphorical bags of cash and “pounds of flesh”. Session requires audience participation to build the Tower and invest in the Training Journey. The visual and powerful metphors make all doctor think about the challenges and commitments of international doctors aswell as other groups.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
By identifying the challenges and commitments of International Doctors, it will also demonstrate where support can be provided. By helping International Doctors, the support will also support the training journey of all doctors in the UK. The high levels of commitment will reflect positively on international doctors who are working in an NHS that is under huge pressure at present. The GP School rather than a targetted approach has tried to introduce a system wide approach to ensure that groups don’t feel marginalized.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Not planning on using early career researchers but would be worth considering

Facilitating clinical reasoning in case-based discussions
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Does a “diagnostic hunch” exist? Fundamentally, features in the problem representation, an internal synthesis of information, trigger illness scripts for disease. Experts (YOU) are so quick at this analysis that it appears instinctive to the untrained eye. This workshop will help you deconstruct this process to facilitate students’ clinical reasoning.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. To describe and apply methods to evaluate the features of effective problem representations and illness scripts. 2. To define and recognise common types of cognitive bias in clinical reasoning and suggest diagnostic strategies to mitigate these. 3. To utilise further evidence-based strategies that effectively facilitate clinical reasoning in case-based discussions.

The workshop commences with a thought-provoking brain teaser that sets the scene for the cognitive psychology of clinical reasoning, requiring participants to be actively engaged in the session from the outset. The workshop will feature several exercises of small group discussion and feedback to the room, as well as the potential for interactive polls for anonymous answers and theme generation.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
There are many explanations for misdiagnosis but a root-cause analysis demonstrates that errors in clinical reasoning, such as the failure to accurately synthesise the available information, account for the majority of diagnostic errors. Robust clinical reasoning is therefore integral to patient safety. The articulation of this metacognition, however, is variable in clinical settings, often resulting in an implicit process for students to develop their own clinical reasoning. Explicit teaching of clinical reasoning concepts is therefore imperative to equip students with the ability to navigate the challenges of increasing medical complexity and uncertainty in a modern NHS. The expectation to formalise clinical reasoning teaching ubiquitously across curricula is of particular relevance to the wider educational community, requiring educators to develop a strong command of clinical reasoning vocabulary through formal training.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Although this is a teaching-focussed session, early career researchers may find themselves generating new research questions that build on the evidence-based strategies presented in the session, and may wish to develop studies that test their newly found hypotheses around effective methods of teaching clinical reasoning. The session lead will be happy to answer questions about his own research methodology in leading a two-centre mixed methods study of a pilot clinical reasoning course.

One foot in hospital, one foot in the community: Setting up longitudinal integrated clerkships
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
This workshop explores the practical implementation of longitudinal integrated clerkships, where Enhance Programme Foundation Doctors spend 60% of their working week in secondary care and 40% in the community. Foundation doctors can follow patient journeys between environments, understand dynamics within and between teams, and in a wider system and society.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
Attendees should be able to apply the principles of longitudinal integrated clerkships to their own settings, in any health professional group. Attendees should be able to interweave learning opportunities related to the Enhance curriculum into longitudinal integrated clerkships. Attendees should be able to identify barriers to successful implementation and develop strategies to overcome them.

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) concept is a vehicle for delivering on recommendations from The Future Doctor report by developing early-career Generalism skills, both for effective Generalists and for effective Specialists of the future. While this presentation discusses Foundation doctors as an example, Enhance is a multiprofessional programme and its lessons are equally appicable to clinicians of all disciplines. DEMEC attendees and the Healthcare Community who wish to set up their own LICs in future will benefit from our practical experience of having established our own.

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Medical education is becoming a popular para-clinical career choice amongst early-career healthcare professionals. With abundant choices of postgraduate qualifications and opportunities for teaching fellowships and educational research, it is an attractive, expanding field of study and practice. Navigating a career within medical education however is difficult. This session is specifically aimed at those in the early stages of exploring a career in education, and will provide DEMEC attendees at the beginning of their careers with targeted support in reflecting on their previous experiences, building plans for career development, and networking with peers. By actively nurturing early career educationalists, the healthcare community reaps numerous benefits by cultivating a pipeline of passionate and skilled education professionals. This, in turn, translates into improved educational experiences for students and, ultimately, better outcomes for patients. In 2020, the Academy of Medical Educators established the Developing Medical Educators’ Group (DMEG) as a dedicated section for early-career professionals. Our primary objective is to provide support and guidance to educators in their initial stages, and we have implemented various initiatives to achieve this goal, such as podcasts, social media engagement, and an annual conference. Attendance at DEMEC will allow us to support educational development in a context where there is no explicit formal pathway. Collaboration between like-minded individuals at a national level is crucial. As members of DMEG, we can build further connections, share the experiences of our committee in their early education careers, and highlight existing resources for early career educators.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This session will be wholly devised by and aimed at early career education practitioners and researchers.
