This year's congress theme, ‘Ethical Narratives in Chronic Care’, aims to explore the evolving landscape of ethical considerations in this increasingly complex clinical space.
By embedding interprofessional education in medical education, and especially within the continuing medical education space, a more agile and client-centred approach to care provision can emerge. For this to occur, each healthcare professional will require enhanced capabilities. Each of us will need better understanding of each other’s roles, respect for our differences and enhanced communication skills.
When reflecting on the attributes needed by the future professional workforce, Frenk et al (2010) state that “growing gaps and inequalities in health and care, new infectious diseases, environment and behavior risks, demographic challenges, changing disease patterns, antibacterial resistance, technological and informational advances, economic challenges, public health concerns in relation to chronic illness and recently a global pandemic” render the status quo unable to meet emerging complexities.
The CDE Academy of Teaching and Learning is committed to fostering an environment that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and learning, and the exchange of perspectives to address the moral challenges of our time.
