Themes
For 2023 we have replaced the pre-defined conference tracks with several broader educational themes to simplify the submission process and allow the programme committee maximum flexibility in creating tracks matched to delegate interests.
The theme you choose for your abstract will determine which reviewers it is sent to, and which group makes the decision about its inclusion in the programme.
Please take care when selecting a theme as submission to the wrong theme may result in a rejection even if the quality of the work is good. Some submissions will span more than one theme and you should choose which one is the best fit for your work.
At the discretion of the programme committee, you may be offered a presentation slot in a different themed session if your abstract was rejected for inclusion in its original category.
Assessment:
Covers all aspects of assessment and feedback in the health professions, including written tests, clinical exams, and work-place based assessment, as well as performance appraisal.
Designing and Planning Learning:
Includes approaches to course and curriculum development, topic selection, instructional design, needs assessment and any other aspects of the planning process whether at activity, course, or curriculum level.
Education and Management:
Covers high-level issues faced by medical schools and other training providers where decisions are required about what type of programmes will be offered, to which types of learners, and by which staff members, and how these programmes are delivered, monitored, and improved.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity:
Covers issues such as challenging bias and stereotypes, widening participation and improving representation in health professions education.
Faculty Development:
Abstracts submitted in this theme should relate specifically to the professional development of teachers or trainers of health professionals – i.e., the education faculty - whether at the individual or organisational level. This track also covers topics such as professional identity formation amongst health professions educators, evaluation of teacher performance and career progression of educators.
Interprofessional and Team Learning:
Studies or initiatives specifically designed to promote learning across professions or disciplines, as well as those more generally aimed at encouraging team working.
Patient Safety:
This theme is concerned with patient safety education - for example, how patient safety can be embedded into educational programmes and practices, or learning from patient safety data. Submissions related to quality improvement science and human factors education are also welcome in this category.
Scholarship of Education:
This theme replaces the previous ‘Education Research’ track, in acknowledgement that scholarship of education is a broader area of work. Abstracts relating to the research process from start to finish, such as applying for funding, research ethics, data-sharing, methodology, theory, and dissemination can be submitted in this track, along with work exploring how research and scholarship is encouraged and supported in more general terms.
Simulation:
Includes all teaching and learning in simulated settings, whether lo-fi or hi-fi. For example, work involving simulated patients, conducted in simulation centres or integrating simulated practice into clinical teaching episodes.
Supporting Learners:
This theme is concerned with any factors which may affect how and what learners learn. It includes topics such as student support and engagement, stress, wellbeing, and burnout, as well as studies exploring the learning environment and the characteristics and choices of learners.
Sustainability:
This theme covers any aspect of teaching, learning or assessment to promote sustainability in health professions education. In particular it involves initiatives to equip learners or teachers with the knowledge, skills, values, competence and confidence they need to sustainably promote the health, human rights and well-being of current and future generations, while protecting the health of the planet.
Teaching and Facilitating learning:
Abstracts submitted to this theme should relate to educational delivery, whether this is face-to-face, online, or blended. It includes the format and methods selected, group size and group management strategies.
Technology Enhanced Learning:
Special emphasis on using technology to enhance teaching and learning. Relevant submissions should have a focus on the design, delivery and implementation of learning by using a variety of devices and approaches, such as innovative content delivery, collaborative learning, social media, virtual and mixed reality environments, gamification and application of artificial intelligence.

Surgery Education:
Teaching, learning and assessment as it relates to surgery in undergraduate or postgraduate education and continuing professional development.
Transforming learning environments through technology:
