About the 2022 Conference
Courtyard Nashville Green Hills — Nashville, TN
The National Center for Medical Education Development and Research (NCMEDR) will convene its culminating Communities of Practice (CoP) Conference entitled, Sustaining Curriculum Transformation in Primary Care Education in Medical Schools, on May 19 – 20, 2022. This conference experience will include a keynote lecture session on "Building a Sustainable Primary Care Education Curriculum" and ending with workgroup sessions to include curriculum and policy brief recommendations. There is no fee to register; however, registration is required.
The National Center for Medical Education Development and Research (NCMEDR) has developed three (3) Communities of Practice for Vulnerable Populations (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) persons, persons experiencing homelessness, and migrant farm workers). The participants who are stakeholders in the communities of practice will assist the NCMEDR with assessment and feedback on the application of new curricula tools in medical education to enhance teaching and modeling of the provision of healthcare services to vulnerable populations. It is anticipated that their feedback will apply to all populations seeking access to care and to whom health care institutions are seeking advancing health equity. As the culminating funded year, the 2022 Conference will present the results of the research for all years, with specific highlights on transforming primary care education and clinical practice in Mental Health and Telehealth for three (3) vulnerable populations in review.
