A cohort of Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine (KPSOM) leaders, faculty, staff, and students will participate in the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Western Group on Educational Affairs (WGEA) Collaborative Spring Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii April 14 through 17. The KPSOM collective will share a total of 16 oral presentations, poster sessions, small group/panel discussions, and workshops that pair with this year’s conference theme, “From Virtual Education to Renewed Personal Connections: Re-Engaging with: Adaptability, Leadership, Opportunity, Humor and Humanism, and Accessibility (ALOHA).”
“Having so many excellent abstracts accepted at this terrific conference is such a wonderful recognition for our students, faculty, and staff,” said Mark Schuster, MD, PhD, KPSOM Founding Dean and CEO. “I’m thrilled to see our school participate along with other schools in efforts to improve medical education everywhere.”
KPSOM Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education, Abbas Hyderi, MD, MPH, agreed. “Having 16 peer-reviewed presentations is an extremely impressive showing at any point but especially this early in a school’s tenure,” said Hyderi. “We plan to have as much of this work published as possible via the development of enduring educational products or scholarly manuscripts. It will be great to celebrate these wins in Honolulu with fellow KPSOM attendees who I know will be great representatives of the school and will make us all proud.”
WGEA is one of four regional groups of the AAMC Group on Educational Affairs and membership is open to all faculty, staff, and learners involved in medical education. The organization fosters the professional development of medical educators, promotes excellence in medical education, and advances medical education research.
