Conferences & Events

"Where's the Patient's Voice in Health Professional Education 10 Years On?" will look at the progress made since the first conference was held in Vancouver in 2005. 

The conference is will look at practice, innovation and theory that embed the patient/client/service user voice in health professional education. It is an opportunity to share examples of how health professional education can be enriched by patient involvement. Over three days, participants will present examples of collaborative projects between educators and patient/community groups and examine the outcomes of these partnerships for faculty, patients, students and the learning environment.

Abstracts are invited on examples of "patient" involvement in health professional education across the continuum of education (e.g. undergraduate, postgraduate, practice education, continuing professional development, in-service training), including:

• Educational initiatives that have been implemented and evaluated.
• Descriptions of progress and lessons learned over the last ten years.
• Patient experiences as educators of health professionals.

The abstract deadline is April 30. For further information, visit the conference website at http://interprofessional.ubc.ca/patientsvoice or email marketing.ipce@ubc.ca to receive updates.
