Cost: ¤250 Cost: ¤250 Committee: Jane Tipping, Suzan Schneeweiss, Amy Wolfe, Rita MacDowall Sessions: Saturday (0830-1630) Research Advanced Skills in Medical Education (RASME) Sessions Offered and accredited by AMEE PLEASE NOTE: Course participants must also register for AMEE 2016 & pay the conference registration fee | Courses fees are exclusive of Spanish VAT. One-day RASME courses offer the chance to look at an area of research in medical education at intermediate or advanced level. Whilst some participants may find it beneficial to complete the RESME three-day course first, this is not a requirement and a RASME one-day course may be taken separately from RESME. Experimental Studies in Medical Education: from theory to practice Experimental research in medical education involves studies that aim to verify, refute or expand on the validity of hypotheses. This type of research is paramount for developing and refining theory and advancing the field of medical education. However, experimental studies in the medical education research literature often lack the methodological rigor that characterizes research conducted within traditional disciplines (e.g., psychology, biomedicine), affecting the trustworthiness of the evidence produced. Furthermore, many medical education researchers struggle when using theory to construct research questions, to choose experimental designs & data analyses, and to integrate their findings with existing theoretical frameworks. Working with experts in experimental research, participants will learn about relevant research methodologies & ways to incorporate theory into the design and reporting of experimental studies. Using a mix of short presentations and interactive small-group sessions, experienced scientists will guide participants to refine their own research proposals and research programs. Facilitators: Martin G. Tolsgaard (Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation, Denmark), Ryan Brydges (Wilson Centre and University of Toronto, Canada), Vicki LeBlanc (Department of Innovation in Medical Education, University of Ottawa, Canada) Sessions: Sunday (0830-1630) Qualitative Research Methodologies: Embracing Methodological Flexibility As qualitative methodologies and methods are employed with increasing frequency, particular conceptions of certain methodologies have been embraced to the exclusion of others. The implication of such practices in qualitative research should be considered & evaluated. To that end, in this RASME workshop we will describe three approaches for encouraging methodological flexibility in qualitative research: (1) methodological borrowing, (2) methodological shifting, and (3) methodological importing. These approaches are some of the means through which qualitative researchers have made space for their work in the health professions community. We will define each approach and explore their use by analyzing their application to specific qualitative methodologies. Using their own research proposals and examples from the literature, participants will gain an understanding of how to develop a qualitative study that flexibly employs qualitative methodologies, while also maintaining appropriate markers of qualitative rigor. 7 Cost: ¤250 Cost: ¤250 Facilitators: Maria Mylopoulos (University of Toronto, Canada), Lara Varpio (Uniform Services University, USA), Tina Martimianakis, Elise Paradis (University of Toronto, Canada) Sessions: Sunday (0915-1630) See www.amee.org/conferences/amee-2016 for full details ASME Courses Accredited by the Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) PLEASE NOTE: Course participants must also register for AMEE 2016 & pay the conference registration fee | Courses fees are exclusive of Spanish VAT.

Whether speaking on education, technology, digital learning, new futures, privacy, digital safety and entrepreneurship, he takes his audience on a journey and challenges them to think differently. Brown-Martin was the founder of Learning Without Frontiers, a global think tank that brought together renowned educators, technologists and creatives to share provocative and challenging ideas about the future of learning. He was responsible for some of the most provocative and challenging debates about education. He left LWF in 2013 to pursue new programmes and ideas designed to transform the way we learn, teach and live. His 30-year career has spanned the digital, education and creative sectors inventing and building new businesses that challenged the status quo. Always too early, he designed mobile computers in the 1980s, interactive digital music systems in the 1990s and cloud-based storage systems in the early 2000s. Brown-Martin’s rich and varied experiences in the entertainment, education, digital and creative fields give him a unique perspective on innovative learning strategies for the new generation of learners.

See www.amee.org/conferences/amee-2016 for full details Chair: Stewart Mennin (Brazil) 0830-0905 Plenary Uncertainty in Healing and Learning: Finding the Simple in the Complex Dr Glenda Eoyang Executive Director Human Systems Dynamics Institute, USA Monday 29th August 2016 0830-0930 SESSION 2 – Plenary Uncertainty is a fact of life in the medical professions, but it seldom appears in educational programs for health care professionals. The theory & practice of dealing with uncertainty have long been relegated to the world of intuition & luck. Recent developments in the sciences of chaos and complexity introduce rigorous and disciplined approaches to deal with uncertainty. In this session, Dr. Eoyang will share the two fundamental principles of human systems dynamics and three core distinctions that will inform theory and practice to improve educational outcomes for your students, performance outcomes for their organizations, & health outcomes for their patients. 0905-0915 | Questions Symposium 3B: Making Feedback Better: How can we innovate within a rigid professional culture? Symposium 4C: The Many Faces of Postgraduate Training – the future is here Panel: Anna Ryan (Australia), Chris Watling, Canada), Chris Harrison (UK), Kevin Eva (Canada) (Discussant) Panel: Organised by AMEE Postgraduate Committee Subha Ramani, Matthew J Stull (USA), Rille Pihlak (Estonia), David CM Taylor (UK) Improving feedback in medical education is as much a cultural challenge as an individual one. We will challenge the audience to consider medicine’s learning culture & the professional values that sustain it, and to problem-solve to support meaningful feedback innovations. The symposium will review tailored PG tracks already in place in some countries and data from junior doctors on what further career training they feel they require. Participants are invited to share their own experiences with supplemental PG training and debate the need to train PGs around the world with a focus on their career goals.

Participants will be invited to respond to the examples and to share how theories inform their own practices. 0830-1015 SESSION 6 – Plenary: Medical Education in Difficult Circumstances 0950-1000 | Questions 1000-1015 Miriam Friedman Ben David New Educator Award Chair: Trevor Gibbs (UK) 0830-0905 | Plenary 6A: Prof Phillip Cotton Vice Chancellor of the University of Rwanda Stumbling blocks into stepping stones; celebrating medical education in Rwanda 13 AMEE Fellowship and Associate Fellowship Awards Essential Skills in Medical Education (ESME) Certificates 1015-1045 | Refreshment Break 1045-1230 SESSION 7 - The University of Rwanda was created two years ago from the merger of the seven public Universities and has 31,000 students on 14 campuses. It is the majority provider of doctors & nurses, & the sole provider of all other health care professionals. The merger is one part context and during these two years, in response to predicted needs, we have opened the first-ever dental school, doubled the intake into medicine, and started the first ever Masters degrees in clinical nursing for 160 candidates. The challenges facing students and faculty, and delivery of teaching in clinical environments, are not new but the opportunities that emerge are exciting and energizing. 0905-0915 | Questions Difficult circumstances, faced by both students & faculty, in medical education range from military activities, human rights violations and poverty, to the lack of awareness of evidence-based medical education resulting in an outdated, traditional way of teaching. Until recently, Polish medical curricula were considered very traditional; non-integrated and overloaded with theoretical knowledge while minimising practical skills & social competence. Thanks to exchange programmes and support from international organisations, Polish students have become acquainted with modern educational systems and are initiating their implementation. Examples of Polish students’ activities & projects will be presented, also illustrating how medical students can act as change leaders in medical education. Simultaneous sessions Concurrent short communications, research papers, posters, PechaKucha, workshops, exhibition Symposium 7A: Medical Education in Difficult Circumstances: Finding solutions to problems Panel: Robert Woollard (Canada), Mona Siddiqui (UK), Elpida Artemiou (St Kitts and Nevis), Trevor Gibbs (UK) (Chair) The world of medical education is not a level playing field. Using examples from around the globe, each giving a different perspective on ‘difficult circumstances’, the symposium will explore and share various mechanisms that some schools have used to bring their institution up to the same level of quality enjoyed by the few. Symposium 7B: Teaching Professionalism to Medical Students: A cross-national discussion Panel: Ducksun Ahn (South Korea), Barbara Barzansky, Dan Hunt (USA), Nobou Nara (Japan) Panellists will address questions including how & by whom professionalism is defined, how it is taught and assessed, behaviours that must be demonstrated in the clinical setting & how inappropriate behaviour by students and faculty is addressed. Symposium 7C: Issues in Recruiting, Training and Rewarding Clinical Faculty Outside the University and Hospital Panel: Daniel Webster, William A Anderson, Elza Mylona, Peggy A Weissinger (USA), Simon Gregory (UK), Niels Kristian Kjaer (Denmark) Delivering quality clinical training in decentralized environments requires not only a well-organized curriculum but also quality clinical faculty to teach & serve as role models. The audience will be invited to discuss the issues with the goal of identifying best practice. 1230-1400 | Lunch Break 1245-1345 | AMEE Annual General Meeting (all members invited) 1400-1530 SESSION 8 - Simultaneous sessions Concurrent short communications, research papers, posters, PechaKucha, workshops, exhibition Symposium 8A: Building the Community of Medical Education Scholars: Sharing lessons learned for developing and maintaining successful units for medical education scholarship & research.

Symposium 10C: Creating (Global) Citizenship: Introducing students to community and the global playing field Symposium 9C: Build Your Own: An environmentally accountable curriculum 1015-1045 | Refreshment Break As medical education becomes an increasingly diverse and scholarly field, academic findings may call into question accepted ways of thinking and practicing. We will explore strategies to support & encourage important, potentially dissenting voices in our field in order to create safe environments for transformative innovation. Panel: Erik Driessen (Netherlands), Cees van der Vleuten (Netherlands), Eric Holmboe (USA), Larry Gruppen (USA), Linda Snell (Canada), Pim Teunissen (Netherlands) Educating future researchers and educators in health professions is of utmost importance for the advancement of our field, yet there is great variation among PhD programs worldwide. Building on the AMEE 2014 symposium where differences between PhD programs were highlighted, we will discuss how our models of doctoral level training help to fulfill our societal responsibilities. As educators in the digital age we need to optimise our use of digital methods to improve the quality and reach of our teaching, and improve students’ learning outcomes. How do we build that new knowledge, and share what we discover about the new digital pedagogies now open to us? Educators can no longer work in isolation given the challenges we face. Can we use the technology to become more professional in building our collective knowledge? The presentation will propose some new design tools to support educators, and a new approach to professionalising teaching. 1120-1130 Questions •Technology enhanced learning in Medical Education: What’s new, what’s useful, & some important considerations Poh Sun Goh (Singapore) •Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships: the Wollongong experience Ian Wilson (Australia) •The Curriculum Positioning System (CPS): A Navigational Necessity for the Master Adaptive Medical Learner (MAML) Mark Quirk ((USA) •(Ex)changing the world: an opportunity or responsibility?
