Precision Education: Sharing Best Practices in Health Sciences Learning

Author
VP Jakub Tolar, MD, PhD

Health science education has undergone rapid transformation during the last several years. In an effort to respond appropriately to the unique needs of individual students, educators are developing approaches to precision education.

Precision education is a system that goes beyond traditional lectures and demonstrations, and gives learners a range of options that allow them to select what best meets their learning style and goals. The upcoming “Best Practices in Health Sciences Education” conference (Oct. 4-5) is an annual tradition that brings together educators, administrators, learners and thought leaders to exchange ideas about cutting-edge best practices and research-based methodologies in health sciences education.  

If you have an idea for a workshop, presentation or discussion that addresses curricular development, assessment of outcomes, innovative teaching practices or models for supporting students, this conference is for you! Please consider submitting a proposal. The deadline is May 8.
