  This session is designed for early career and novice researchers who may have limited or no experience in writing. It would also serve as a refresher on writing for academic publication for mid-career. The session seeks to encourage all levels of experience and especially novice writers to improve key writing skills. Through short presentations and discussion. We will focus on topics that will help you to reflect on your work, how to improve your chances of publication, writing tips, and an understanding of the publication process. There will be opportunities for Q&A through a panel discussion and / or zoom breakout rooms facilitated by experienced FoHPE Board members.

  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?
