We will welcome as our guests well-known education scholars, including Kevin Eva, PhD, Associate Director and Scientist in the Centre for Health Education Scholarship, and Professor and Director of Educational Research and Scholarship in the Department of Medicine, at the University of British Columbia.

In addition, the IHSE will showcase research and innovation in Health Sciences Education from faculty members and students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at ¿´Æ¬ÊÓƵ and beyond. We are seeking abstracts in any area of health sciences education research or innovation. We encourage you to join us in discussing emerging educational trends and innovations as well as cross cutting, interdisciplinary education research, and scholarship.Ìý
