APHC International Hybrid Conference

Professionalism and Advocacy:
Achievements, Barriers, Complexities

June 3-5, 2026

Advocacy—supporting oneself, others, and systems to promote equity and well-being—is a core responsibility of all healthcare professionals. This international hybrid conference invites health professions educators, clinicians, public health experts, and ethics professionals, as well as their trainees, to explore how different forms of advocacy align with and elevate professionalism. Through global perspectives and open discussions, we will examine achievements, barriers, and complexities in this vital area of professional conduct.
