Reimagining Professionalism: Using Cultural and Generational Lenses
Friday, November 17, 2023, virtually via Zoom
Cultural and generational differences are key factors that shape what clinicians, patients, educators, learners, and society at large consider “professional” in the health care context. This virtual conference will examine cultural and generational impacts on what we call “professional” in the health care context. Professionalism is a complex conglomerate of values, beliefs, standards, and practices. We welcome submissions related to Education, Clinical Care, Bioethics, and Public Health.
The submission deadline is 11:59 p.m. EDT, Thursday, August 31, 2023

Inclusivity, creativity, scholarship and level of participant involvement will also be key considerations. We encourage the full use of virtual interaction tools such as break out rooms, polling and annotations.
