The 13th RCSI International Education Forum (IEF) – Monday 17 to Wednesday 19 June 2024.
All RCSI staff are welcome to attend any and all of these sessions should they be of interest – register here. Draft programme is available here.
The theme this year is ‘Innovating for a Healthier Future’ as we consider our plans under the RCSI Strategy 2023-2027.
The IEF is an annual event, which commenced in 2012, with the aim of bringing members of the international RCSI community together to discuss our education-focused ideas and innovations and to share our successes and resolve challenges.
Monday and Tuesday are designed for all staff to attend and will have a university-wide focus. Wednesday morning will comprise School of Medicine new curriculum delivery and Wednesday afternoon will see our Health Professions Education Centre (HPEC) host the annual Education Innovation Awards.
