ESME Successful Change, Resilience and Sustainability in Health Profession Education
Information about the module
In today’s complex educational and healthcare environments, change is not only inevitable—it’s constant.
This module will help you move beyond traditional, linear approaches to change by exploring the dynamic nature of complex adaptive systems.
You’ll be introduced to Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) as a practical framework for making sense of uncertainty and fostering resilience within your educational context.
Throughout the module, you’ll engage with evidence-based frameworks, adaptive tools, and reflective exercises that connect directly to your professional experiences.
By the end of this journey, you’ll be better equipped to lead adaptive change, build sustainable practices, and support resilience within your teams and institutions.
Let’s begin the journey toward meaningful, lasting change—together.
