Theme: Curriculum Planning, Teaching and Learning, Faculty Development.
The role of culture in professional development as well as in faculty development is undeniable. While literature on professionalism and faculty development are mostly drawn from recognition of dominant western cultural context, it is time to enrich our discourse on these distinct yet interrelated issues from other cultural perspectives including those from eastern context. Professional development in medical and health professions education considers culture as essential. The redefinition of context and exploration of how professionalism is cultivated differently between western and eastern contexts will be discussed in the webinar. The first speaker will highlight the importance of language and cultural-spiritual discourses in forming the context-specific professionalism. There is high relevance of such discussions to the faculty development since the aim of faculty development is to prepare teachers nowadays to engage with different cultural contexts in their curriculum, teaching and assessment, in attempts to develop cultural competence of the students and that professional development of teachers should also recognise different cultural contexts. Cross-cultural faculty development will be emphasised by the second speaker who will elaborate attempts and approaches in faculty development which show cross-cultural awareness from the individual to system levels. The webinar will be conducted interactively with questions and answers session and breakout groups.
Who should attend? This webinar will be beneficial for health professions education leaders, health professions educations teachers and scholars in general and faculty developers and scholars in particular.
