  ANZAHPE ONLINE Professional Development Program

  How do I… develop professional capabilities in future healthcare professionals with virtual simulation

  Presenter: Amanda Edgar

  Date: Thursday 21st August 2025
  Time: 1.00pm - 2.00pm (AEST)

  In this session, Amanda Edgar will present her research on the role of virtual simulation in developing professional capabilities. This includes the use of virtual simulated international placements, with an emphasis on promoting diversity and inclusion in health professional education programs. Given that placement experiences and opportunities can vary, which may impact capability acquisition, participants will engage in small groups to discuss how these findings could be applied to their own disciplines.

  
  

  This event is FREE for ANZAHPE members. Non-members are welcome to join this discussion for a small fee.

  We look forward to seeing you there!

  Kind Regards,

  ANZAHPE ONLINE MASTER CLASS

  How do I... amplify community perspectives to develop LGBTIQA+ inclusive case-based learning?

  Presenters: Dr Helen Wilcox and Dr Ness Vaughan 

  UWA Medical School has recently undertaken a process of “curriculum queering”, to increase authentic LGBTIQA+ representation and diversity within the case-based learning curriculum. During this masterclass, we will introduce the process through which we engaged with community members to identify their expectations and needs, and developed curriculum to enhance the skills students need to engage with patients from the LGBTIQA+ community. This masterclass will support you to explore how to increase diversity and inclusive practice skills in your health professions curriculum, through the lens of case-based learning. Areas we’ll explore include:

  • How can you make sure your curriculum is reflecting the experiences and expectations of the community?
  • How are you embedding skills development to support your students to become inclusive practitioners?
  • How can you move toward co-design with community members?
  • How can you transfer this technique to case-based learning with other communities?
