Welcome to Convergence2022!
WELCOME TO
It is hard to describe the past year. The twelve months since our
last Convergence Conference have been “full,” “eventful,” and
“uncertain,” to say the least.
CONVERGENCE Despite this, our team has worked hard, and is excited
to present you with Convergence2022: Courageous
Conversations for the Future of Health Professions Education.
2022 Courage underpins this year’s event. We have all had
discussions about equity and inclusion, resilience, mental
health, and education reform in the last year, while grappling
with the operational and human resource impacts of the
pandemic. For 2022, the Convergence planning team
committed to creating a space where we can learn with, from,
and about each other through a suite of exciting activities and
presentations.
This is our first 3-day conference. It is a departure from our
previous events, and yet we were excited at the prospect of
creating enough space to touch on many challenges and
opportunities present in health professions education today.
This includes the future of work; inclusion, diversity, equity, and
accessibility; and new and emergent practice. Covering these
topics, we have speakers who bring their collective, years-
long experience in health care and will engage with you in an
intimate (while virtual) experience that is sure to nourish your
minds, and give you time and space to ask, and think through,
critical questions.
Thank you for taking the time to join us for Michener’s third
annual conference, and for contributing to this incredible and
rapidly growing, Convergence Conference community!
