Overview

Innovations in Medical Education is a practical virtual Continuing Medical Education (CME) conference for busy clinician educators who have ideas and want to turn them into meaningful impact.

Through short, high-yield 20–30 minute sessions and interactive exercises, you’ll learn how to:

  • Turn an idea into something tangible by rapidly prototyping and testing educational innovations.
  • Define what success looks like and identify meaningful ways to measure impact.
  • Build the right team to move an idea forward.
  • Lead change and navigate the real-world challenges of implementing something new.
  • Pitch your idea effectively to colleagues, leaders, and potential collaborators.
  • Share and disseminate your work so that good ideas travel beyond your own institution.
  • Use AI and emerging technologies thoughtfully to strengthen education without losing sight of the learner.
  • Learn from educators around the world through innovation showcases and international networking.
  • Connect with collaborators who can help you think differently and move your work forward.

Designed for clinician educators at every stage of the innovation process:

  • Have an idea but not sure where to start?
  • Have a curriculum that needs to be better?
  • Built something that works and wondering how to scale it?
  • Want your educational work to reach more learners and have greater impact?

Whether you are developing your first idea or expanding an established innovation, you’ll leave with clearer priorities, practical tools you can use immediately, and a stronger community of collaborators.


Learning Objectives

  • Develop a viable educational innovation and create a framework to evaluate its feasibility, success, and potential for scale.
  • Deliver a concise elevator pitch for an educational idea and revise it based on feedback.
  • Compare strategies for building teams, managing time, and sustaining educational work over time.
  • Select dissemination strategies that match their goals, including presentations, scholarship, video, podcasts, social platforms, and professional networking.
  • Incorporate AI thoughtfully into medical education workflows while recognizing limitations, ethical concerns, and the need for human oversight.
