About the Conference

I am delighted to share with you the full program of our 2024 MDHS Learning and Teaching Conference.

The themes of conference plenary sessions are Learning with GenAI and Learning Through Practice. Expect compelling student voices, a conversation led by the Dean, and keynotes on places, people and technologies that are informing our educational practices and possibilities.

The themes of the sessions that follow extend and expand from those of the morning, incorporating also collaborations, student experience, engagement and wellbeing, and more. And a guiding theme, to draw from the language of interprofessional education, is of learning about, from and with each other. From the special breakfast sessions - registrations still possible - to the concluding lunches, this is what this conference is all about.
