Calling all educators!… Unconference at the 2019 World Congress of Intensive Care
Building on the success of previous Unconference and Dragon’s Den events at SMACC and the 2018 ANZICS ASM, another ANZCEN Clinician Educator Unconference will be held as part of the 2019 World Congress of Intensive Care. The Unconference is co-created by participants to meet their needs as critical care clinician educators.
The event will take place on Sunday 13 October 2019 at the Centre for Health Innovation at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
A few spots are still available, so come along if you want to:
- help further develop an interprofessional clinician educator incubator programme for critical care clinicians,
- contribute to an interprofessional intensive care consensus statement, and/or
- be part of the ‘Dragon’s Den’ sessions, which involve facilitated small group discussions using a ‘step-back’ methodology. Participants will present their projects, then listen in while their colleagues discuss the project as if it were their own, after which new learnings will be shared! All types of education projects are welcome: research, innovations, curriculum design, and more.
Whether you are an experienced hand or a budding educator, you are welcome to come along and join our community.
Register here – it is AUD$100 for consultants and $50 for trainees/ non-physicians, with all proceeds being donated to the Intensive Care Foundation. Light lunch will be provided.
