It’s been a great week of learning and networking at ANZAHPE 2023 on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland. With over 650 delegates, including 20 from Flinders University, this has been the biggest ANZAHPE conference yet!
The Australian and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators is the peak organisation for practitioners involved in education and training of health professionals in Australia, New Zealand and the Western Pacific region. ANZAHPE promotes educational research through seeding grants, awards and conference presentations, as well as through its peer-reviewed journal, Focus on Health Professional Education. The ANZAHPE theme this year was Turning Tides, Navigating the Opportunities.
The Flinders booth featuring Clinical Education and Rural and Remote Health was busy and the Clinical Education team enjoyed meeting current and past students and fielding queries from prospective students.
Flinders had a strong presence in the scientific program with a number of RRH, CMPH, and CNHS staff presenting their work.
