To kick off the workshop we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a brief overview of design thinking. This workshop is designed to give participants an opportunity to to apply design thinking approaches to a medical education challenge. In this first session of the day we’ll begin to consider what the key challenges in medical and healthcare professions education might be.
Key to the whole workshop is listening to the problems and the ideas that fellow participants have and to work with them in an open and productive manner. This workshop is about thinking outside the box, thinking in new ways, presenting ideas in in different ways. Sketching out ideas rather than writing them.
