Cultivating Growth in Health Professions Education
Advancing Learner Success Through Feedback, Mentorship, Inclusion, and Second Chances
Join Us for the 5th Annual IAMSE Virtual Forum!
IAMSE is pleased to invite you to join us for the Fifth Annual IAMSE Virtual Forum. The Forum will take place October 20-22, 2026. Join us as we engage with a diverse network of international health science educators to gain insights from the global community.
Join us at the IAMSE 2026 Virtual Forum as we reframe educational success, moving beyond single metrics toward a holistic interpretation of learner and educator growth. Together, we will explore the transformative power of second chances, reframing failure and remediation as compassionate “on-ramps” and “off-ramps” for professional development. This requires designing holistic programs centered on growth-oriented assessment, feedback, and proactive learner support. Ultimately, we will examine what it means to redefine competence—building the professional identity, collaborative learning, and resilience needed to thrive in an AI-shaped world.
This year's theme is "Cultivating Growth in Health Professions Education: Advancing Learner Success Through Feedback, Mentorship, Inclusion, and Second Chances". This theme has been broken into three sub-themes:
-
Designing Holistic Programs: Growth-Oriented Assessment, Feedback, and Learner Development
-
Proactive Learner Support and Recovery
-
Redefining Competence: Professional Identity, Collaborative Learning, and Resilience in an AI-Shaped World
