This year, the IME Conference will again be a 100% online event. This decision was made in consideration of 2021-22 budget restrictions faced by many educators. The online format eliminates travel expenses and accommodates any travel restrictions. Join us online from anywhere in the world!
The IME 2022 Online Experience
We are building on our successful 2021 online conference experience to present another exciting and stimulating program using both Zoom livestreaming and pre-recorded video. The twenty-one interactive conference workshops are designed to enhance participant skills related to teaching, mentoring/coaching, research, leadership, professional development, wellbeing, social justice, and use of technology. Multiple topical oral presentation sessions, a variety of synchronous and asynchronous poster sessions, and hosted networking events will provide opportunities for dissemination of participant scholarly work, live question and answer discussions, and networking in a collaborative atmosphere.

“The Scholarship of Innovation: Inspiration – Implementation – Inquiry – Infusion”
In this interactive presentation, we will discuss tips and strategies for advancing your innovative ideas in a scholarly way. I will share examples of published and in-progress innovations in health professions education to explain four key elements of the scholarship of innovation: 1. INSPIRATION (the problem that drives your innovative intervention or approach), 2. IMPLEMENTATION (how you enact your idea), 3. INQUIRY (how you evaluate your innovation), 4. INFUSION (how you sustain and share your innovation with others). You will have opportunities to ask questions and receive input about your own ideas for innovation and scholarship.
