2022 Learning and Teaching Conference
Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences
Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 October 2022
About the Conference
I am delighted that we will once again be hosting the MDHS Learning and Teaching Conference— this time as two half days, one virtually and the other face-to-face with an opportunity to network with colleagues over lunch after the morning's event.
We begin our conference with events focussed on two important themes for our Faculty— on Tuesday, Wellbeing and Mental Health at the University of Melbourne: Towards a 'Healthy University', and on Wednesday, Collaborative Practice. These themes are significant for all of us – students, and professional, academic and honorary staff. We will hear from leading University and Faculty experts on practices, experiences, directions, and scholarship in relation to both.
But of course, the conference is less about listening than it is about connecting. Across both days, from our opening plenary by Professor Sarah Wilson to our concluding lunch at the Woodward, I look forward to the many conversations, collaborations and ideas that these connections will spark.
Registrations are still open, although are sure to fill soon for the second day where we meet face-to-face.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Warm regards,
Marilys

9:40-10:00 | Plenary: Wellbeing and Mental Health at the University of Melbourne: Towards a 'Healthy University' Professor Sarah Wilson, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Student Life, The University of Melbourne Across the UK, the concept of the ‘Healthy University’ is driving whole-of-university approaches to support the wellbeing of students, staff and communities. Here in Australia, the University of Melbourne is leading towards this ecological approach, with areas of excellent practice within our institution now being brought together to provide more integrated systemic support. In this short presentation, Professor Sarah Wilson, Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Life will introduce the University’s new Student Wellbeing and Mental Health Framework, pointing to the various initiatives to be embedded across the University. Sarah will invite you to consider how you can draw upon your own expertise in supporting health and wellbeing to realise the goals of the framework, and how you can extend your own connections as we strive towards a genuinely healthy university. | |||

Touching upon developments in assessment, wider curriculum, clinical placements, direct support for students and more, the discussion will respond to, and extend, Professor Sarah Wilson’s invitation for us to build upon our connections and practices across and beyond the Faculty as we look towards realising a holistic, whole-of-University approach for supporting student wellbeing and mental health.

9:30-9:50 | Plenary: Collaborating for a Collaborative Practice Curriculum. Presentation Elizabeth Molloy, Professor of Work Integrated Learning Department of Medical Education; Academic Director, Interprofessional Education and Practice MDHS In this plenary, Professor Elizabeth Molloy will share with us a vision for our Faculty’s Centre for Collaborative Practice, a centre to develop student capabilities for collaborative practice and improve team-based practice in the health workforce. Liz will showcase some examples of current innovations (workforce and curriculum) with a focus on the collaborative processes required to design and implement the initiatives. Liz’s plenary will kickstart a series of opportunities to connect across the day to help us all draw upon and extend our collective (and diverse) expertise in supporting collaborative practice for health. | ||||||
9:50-10:40 | Panel: Collaborative Practice There is little debate about the imperative for our students to graduate with strong capabilities for collaborative practice. As noted on our Interprofessional Education and Practice site, “High quality and safe healthcare is best delivered by a team that works in collaboration with the person receiving care and with each other.” Collaborative practice readiness is likewise essential for broader engagement with communities and partners to support health. But how exactly are students and academic and professional staff understanding, speaking about, learning and modelling these capabilities for collaborative practice? Panel members will share practices and perspectives to help us reflect upon what we can all do to support excellence in collaborative practice for health.
