The Premier Education Event, focusing on “Practical Application: Putting it All Together,” will be held on Aug. 27 from 1-3 p.m. in Lower Level Storz.

The event is a collaborative effort between the Nebraska Medicine Office of Health Professions Education, UNMC Interprofessional Academy of Educators, and UNMC Faculty Development.
The event will summarize previous years’ themes: teaching strategies, critical thinking and assessment. It also will feature a presentation on turning projects into scholarship, and participants can attend a “rapid rounds” session, in which presenters will discuss their research, project or idea for two minutes and then allow questions for an additional minute. Attendees will rotate through the various presentations.
