AAHPM Education Exchange - Call for Submissions
The call is out for next year's Educational Exchange at AAHPM 2011. If you missed it last year, it was one of the best sessions I've been to in a while - a chance to witness and participate in some of the more innovative and interesting curricula in HPM education.
Here is this year's call for submissions. I don't think there's a webpage you can go to to access all the forms - I'm happy to pass them along if you email me - but you can also use the contact info below:
2011 Educational Exchange - Call for Submissions
Introduction
Abstract Submissions are now being accepted for the 2011 Educational Exchange at the AAPHM and HPNA Annual Assembly February 16-19, 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia. This session, “An Interactive Educational Exchange: Sharing Innovative Teaching Materials and Methods” was first presented at the Annual Assembly in Boston in 2010. It will provide a structured, interactive, and hands-on forum for palliative care educators from all disciplines to present, share and exchange materials and methods from model educational initiatives, including curricula, program development, educational process, assessment tools, online materials, and research in teaching and evaluation. The Call for Submissions for the 2011 Educational Exchange will be open from June 16 through July 16, 2011.
Professionals and trainees involved in education from all palliative care disciplines are encouraged to submit. The educational innovation can be directed at a wide variety of learners, including trainees, colleagues, faculty, and interdisciplinary learners. Following submission, a panel of interdisciplinary, experienced palliative care educators will review the abstracts. Authors of selected abstracts will give a formal, 5 minute presentation at the Educational Exchange session in Vancouver. All presenters will then breakout to individual stations to answer questions and provide an interactive, hands-on experience with their innovation specific materials for interested attendees.
Selected abstracts will be published as part of the Annual Assembly format in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management.
