    Event Overview


    The demands of the academic milieu reach far beyond the practice of clinical medicine. Academic physicians assume responsibility for educating the physicians and specialists needed for sustainability of the healthcare system, all while working hard to fulfil their own clinical and scholarly goals.  As COVID has underscored, complexities and uncertainties within healthcare challenge the academic setting as being simultaneously a place of learning and a place of work. Coaching as an antidote can function as a partnership to foster resilience, navigate relationships, and support the achievement of personal and professional goals. Coaching within the health professions has picked up "traction" in recent years and yet a lack of clarity as to what it is, the role it can play and how it can be effectively integrated still exists. This 60-minute presentation aims to bring that clarity.

      Event Overview

      There has been enthusiastic growth in the adoption of technology and even AI as a means of  supporting health care delivery and education. But there have also been significant concerns  and considerations identified. This includes issues of trust, privacy, bias, and other concerns of  equity-seeking communities. To ensure the successful and safe adoption of these technologies  to support care and education there is a need to have open and transparent dialogue about  parameters and utilization policies to guard and guide their utilization and improve health  equity. Experiences using technology and AI across the world are different according to the  contexts in which they are applied and can offer interesting insights and lessons learned for a  global audience. An introductory panel discussion will be followed by interactive knowledge  gathering using small and large group techniques.

      The Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education (SACME) invites you to our 2024 Annual Meeting, March 10-13 in San Diego, CA.

      This year’s annual meeting will address the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI); how CPD/CE can impact the climate crisis; the influence of power and privilege on academic medicine; and best practices for our organizations and our learners to address complex care needs in under-resourced settings, including migrant, refugee, and displaced communities.

      Through research and best practices sessions learn from CPD/CE colleagues who’ve developed innovative strategies, including interprofessional and team-based education, working in the evolving CPD/CE environment using data driven CPD, and incorporating quality improvement and patient safety.

      We look forward to an interactive, stimulating program that will provide opportunities for professional development, networking, and scholarly interactions.
