Community and Commitment

At the 6th Congress of Health Professions Educators, Community and Commitment, participants wrestled with the definition of a community — is it the health sciences building(s), the university campus, the neighborhood beyond the walls, or (through electronic connections and airplanes) does it extend to others in a global community? Variations on this definition emerged and reemerged throughout the conference.

FutureCare

The 5th Congress of Health Professions Educators, FutureCare, was held in June 1998. FutureCare took a look around the corner at health care delivery in years to come, and grappled with the underlying lessons for the nation's academic health centers. The papers in this volume include views of nurses and of pharmacists as patients' preferred primary care providers, an exploration of clinicians' increasing need for cultural competency skills, and consideration of the ways in which our rapidly expanding knowledge of genetics will influence people's lives.

Health Professions Educators Confront a New Era

In 1995, the National League for Nursing commissioned a Panel on Interdisciplinary/Transdisciplinary Education. The focus of the Panel's work was to examine educational issues that transcend the health professions and to make recommendations for future implementation of an interdisciplinary approach to addressing them.
