Transitions: navigating and supporting medical education in times of change

Day – 01: Monday 6 December 2021
DEMEC 2021 will cover 6 themes following the AoME Professional Standards – Core Values and Five Domains The Academy of Medical Educators’ Professional Standards Framework makes explicit the values, skills, knowledge and practical capabilities required of those engaged in medical education. The Standards have been developed in wide consultation with professional medical educators. The framework is outcome-based and generic in nature; it is designed to be inclusive and relevant to all clinical and non-clinical medical educators irrespective of role. The Professional Standards support the maintenance of good medical practice and are used to support professional development, annual appraisal and revalidation. They are relevant to all educational roles and responsibilities. Membership and Fellowship of AoME exceed the minimum GMC requirements for clinical trainers.

Transitions matter: The theory, research and practice of transitions in medical education

Transitions matter. They provide opportunities for intense learning but are also challenging. Drawing on the literature and her team-based research on medical education transitions, Charlotte will talk about: (i) What transitions are; (ii) How transitions can be researched; and (iii) How medical students and trainees can be helped to navigate transitions.

Building high performance healthcare teams – culture, relationships and translational simulation

Improving teamwork and shaping culture in healthcare is easy to say, but hard to do.
Team training, catchy communication acronyms, and off-site team building might not realise the promise of high performing teams in the complex environment of 21^st century healthcare.
Maybe simulation offers more than we think – if used with agility – to explore work environments and the people in them, to test better systems or practices, and to embed ‘best practice’ once we know what that is.
And maybe simulation can actually shape culture, and help high performing healthcare teams get better, together.
