The event will include a keynote presentation by Deepak Keshwani, PhD, associate professor of biological systems engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

\u201cWe are thrilled to host this interprofessional event, which serves as a forum for discussing emerging trends in education,\u201d said Brian Boerner, MD, director of UNMC Interprofessional Academy of Educators. \u201cThe success of last year’s inaugural symposium offered attendees fresh ideas to improve their teaching. This year promises to deliver even more actionable strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event co-host Analisa McMillan, PhD, director of UNMC Distance Education, agreed. \u201cIn this era of advanced teaching methods, the InnovatED Symposium offers educators a platform to collaborate and enhance their expertise. This year, we feature an even greater number of top experts in health professions academia sharing innovative educational techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other presentations will cover topics including gamification, mentoring, AI, inclusive learning, microcredentialling and more. View the full schedule of events.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the Catalyst for Education Award winner will be announced at the symposium and new Distinguished Educators will be honored. The Catalyst for Education Award recognizes a staff member in an educational support role whose contributions have been integral to furthering the educational mission at UNMC; the Distinguished Educator designation is the highest honor in academy membership and is awarded to a faculty member who consistently demonstrates excellence in teaching and peer mentoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
