Virtual International Doctoral Student Forum

 

 

Tecnológico de Monterrey, School of Medicine and Health Sciences is delighted to host the 2021- U21 Health Sciences Group Virtual Doctoral Student Forum, in collaboration with the U21 HSG Annual Meeting on Monday 13th September 2021.

The aim of the Doctoral Student Forum is to encourage students to share their research and educational experiences in the pandemic and post pandemic era, considering the diversity of career opportunities available following completion.

We would like to invite doctoral students from a range of disciplines across the U21 HSG member institutions to present their work virtually to the 19 U21 HSG member institutions across the globe.

Topics from all areas of Health Sciences research can be submitted and we particularly welcome submissions from One Health related research.

Students are not required to give an overview of their whole project but rather, a summary of their research.

The Virtual Doctoral Student Forum program will include Masterclasses from expert researchers, student oral presentations and poster presentations. The international review panel will award prizes to the best presentations. Students will also be invited to attend all the virtual plenaries of the U21 Health Sciences Group Annual Meeting. The topic of this year's meeting is ‘Challenges in research in the post-Covid Era’.

Teaching Excellence Award Workshop

 

 

Workshop title: Experiences of the Online Educator, Pandemic and Beyond
Sheila Harms, McMaster University, 
Norman Ng, University of Queensland

Workshop description: The COVID 19 pandemic has undoubtedly influenced the practice of education for educators around the world. Necessary digital adaptations were frequently mandated to ensure minimal disruptions to Health Professions Education (HPE), wherever possible. This context provides a unique opportunity to ask a series of questions about HPE, including: how satisfied were HPEs about their roles as teacher prior the pandemic? What were some of the pre-pandemic online educational practices that were emerging for HPEs? In general, how satisfied were students with online learning prior to the pandemic? These questions now form a backdrop to interpret peri-pandemic literature about the experience of educators. More specifically, the purpose of this interactive workshop is to provide an opportunity for U21 Health Sciences Group HPEs to come together to reflect on their experiences as educators from around the world during the pandemic and to review the literature about educator experiences within this unique context. Do we see our educator selves and our pandemic stories reflected in the available literature? Why might this matter? Focusing on the educator voice, we aim to bring to the fore a discussion about what makes an educational practice sustainable during these challenging times and how the educator experience is critical in shaping an ongoing agenda of student engagement.
