The Next Wave of Medical Education: Redefining Healthcare

Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the LAU Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine, I am delighted to welcome you to the 4th Medical Education Conference, titled “The Next Wave of Medical Education: Redefining Healthcare.”

As the landscape of medicine continues to evolve at a unique pace, so too must our approach to medical education. The theme of this conference captures the essence of this critical need: to reimagine and reshape medical education and to prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

This conference aims to create a forum for open discussion about the avenues and concerns presented by advances in technology and artificial intelligence. It will gather a vibrant community of not only smart and agile educators, but also a creative and contributive workforce. Together, we will explore critical topics impacting medical education today, from admissions to assessment, and leadership to the integration of cutting-edge technology such as AI, VR, digital health and simulation.

Through a dynamic program featuring plenaries, hands-on workshops and roundtable discussions led by world-renowned experts from leading institutions, this conference promises to be an enriching and stimulating experience.

We encourage your active participation in sparking meaningful dialogue and shaping the future of medical education.

Sincerely,

 
Sola Bahous, MD, PhD, MHPE
