Join us for the opportunity to hold conversations with scholars in our field who are examining and challenging some of the prevailing assumptions and proposing new empirical and theoretical insights. This month we continue our series with authors who contributed publications to the recent Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions (JCEHP) supplement themed “Conceptual Advances in Continuing Professional Development in the Health Professions.”
CPD learners are diverse, with varied educational and professional backgrounds, learning needs and preferences. They also have different and intersecting social identities.
This session will introduce a framework for embedding equity, diversity, and inclusion into the design, development and delivery of education and training initiatives. We will discuss how to create learning environments and experiences that reflect diverse learners, foster inclusion and accessibility, and are free from stereotypes and bias based on gender, race, ethnicity, ability or other identities.
