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.

Don't miss this important conference with a keynote, 2 symposia, a fireside chat, 7 workshops, 4 problem-solving sessions, 1 panel discussion, 15 oral presentations, and 10 posters. (The schedule will be released soon.)

Keynote
Dr. Goran Stevanovski will discuss 
Defining Professionalism: A Cross-Cultural, Cross-Generational Odyssey. He is an esteemed health care leader, educator, and researcher who brings a unique perspective to the world of medicine.

Fireside Chat
Joe Carrese, one of the founding members of APHC, will interview Tom Harter and Gia Merlo, authors of the book, Medical Professionalism: Theory, Education, and Practice.
