"Building Digital Literacy and Competencies in Health Professions Education; an interactive e-Workshop" with Poh-Sun Goh
on Sunday, 21 May 2023, 2.30pm Singapore Time (on Zoom)
Abstract
This highly interactive e-Workshop will build on a presentation at ICHPE 2022 - https://medicaleducationelearning.blogspot.com/2022/02/the-vision-of-transformation-in-medical.html
Sequentially exploring and building on 'Why' before "What' and 'How'. This session will be supported by a purpose built open access blog (website). Participants will be requested to engage with the material and exercises on this blog before the e-Workshop (around 1 hour of reading and reflection on their personal and institutional needs and requirements in Health Professions Education). After which, in the live e-Workshop session, we will engage in 60 minutes of interactive discussion on themes, topics and practices that are relevant and practically implementable for the participants, in the widest possible (resource and practice) settings. At the end of the session, each participant will have, and be requested to share, a single short (Post-it like) note of their personal take-aways, including a single doable action step, to not only share with fellow participants, but to be posted on the session blog.
"One week ahead of the day of the session, I will be emailing participants the website link for a purpose built open access website - https://digitalliteracyinmeded.blogspot.com/ - containing material for pre-reading, reflection and 'homework', which I request participants spend one hour working through before the session. There will be a 'micro-assessment' exercise where participants will be requested to post a comment on the blog of their personal takeaways from reviewing the session material, and potential action steps moving forward. The deadline for participants to post their 'homework' on blog is latest by Saturday, May 20, 2023; one day before the session. We will be starting the session reviewing these participants posts. Doing this 'homework' and posting personal takeaways on the comments section of the blog before the session is a mandatory preparation and learning activity before the session, in order to be prepared, to have started process to personalise the session content and practices for their own professional setting and needs, and be to be able to participate fully, and derive maximum potential value from the interactive discussions during the live session."

Dear e-Workshop participants,
Thank you for participating in this e-Workshop.
We will spend one hour together in an interactive live session on Sunday, May 21, 2023
In order to maximise the value of the one hour we spend together in our live Zoom session, may I request that each participant reflect on the topic of this e-Webinar "Building Digital Literacy and Competencies in Health Professions Education", specifically the relevance and significance of this topic to you, and your professional practice, at an individual, faculty, institutional, and wider community and network levels. For each participant at the live session, we will be spending the first part of the session reviewing you input, in order to personalise the session, and make this relevant and useful for you. May I request that you post a comment on this blog (in the comments section below) of the key issues, concerns and needs relevant to you. Please do this by Saturday, May 20, 2023.
To stimulate your thinking, please review the short commentaries (open access) published below, and topical quotes.
Thank you.
Warmly,

👉 For those participants with limited time, please focus on reviewing the following content:
"At the end of the day we come back to the individual, who is the learner, and practitioner; who is trained, undergoes a training process, which is lifelong (both professional, and personal, as a lifelong, adaptable and adaptive learner, who ideally is trained formally and informally in the science of effective and efficient learning); who is certified and licensed to practice, and both maintains and regularly renews this license to practice (through rigorous evaluation and assessment, by both a formal recognized training organization— university, teaching hospital, training program; and both international and local licensing authority—professional association, e.g., fellowship and local license to practice). Continuous improvement and transformation of this lengthy longitudinal professional training and certification to practice path offers several, if not many opportunities to blend the “best use” of human guided training, feedback and coaching with technology tools and platforms (including AI, VR, AR, MR, robotics, simulation paradigms, and simulators, as well as pervasive or regularly sampled indicators and data of both performance and outcomes—with learning and performance analytics). We augment this with visibility, data, performance and outcome analysis and analytics of professional teams, and both localized and larger health systems and networks; in order to build a high functioning, high quality efficient and effective, safe clinical teams, and health systems, at local, regional, countrywide; and even at international levels. Why not? Blending the best of “human intelligence” and AI could potentially, can, and should allow us to scale best practices."
