#AMEE2023 is about to get underway - record delegates and bagpipes (of course). Glad to be here learning and sharing with my colleagues from down under. ‘Tis a loooong flight

And that's a wrap! Goodnight and Farewell from #ANZAHPE2023

His final message - your students are already on social media. Let's not make them always come to us, let's reach them where they are.

[Dr Joanna Tai @DrJoannaT]

Yikes. @drmiketodorovic suggests that while we might remember 2004 (before social media), most of our university students are Gen Z and won't. They have always lived in a world with a wealth of information available (so attention is a limited resource 🤑)

An exciting visit to the beautiful campus of The University of Arizona @UArizona exploring collaborative partnership opportunities in areas of mutual interest.

A ground-breaking clinical trial is underway for a new drug to reduce brain tissue death after ischemic stroke. 🧠👨‍🔬

Designed to be used by first responders, the drug was developed by Professors Bruno Meloni, Neville Knuckey, and their team at #UWA and @PerronInstitute. 👏👏👏

[UWA @uwanews]

Eight researchers from our #UWA Medical School have been awarded almost $8 million combined in grants for projects ranging from antibiotic alternatives in pregnancy and reducing chronic pain in breast cancer patients.

[UWA @uwanews]

Final year #UWA medical students can now do a year of training in Albany, Bunbury or Broome. 🧑‍⚕️👏

The Rural Clinical School of WA program is designed to sustain a thriving rural medical workforce and create healthier communities. 🏥

Another day, another @uwanews Open Day ...this time in Kuala Lumpur 💙💛🦚

[The Kids Research Institute Australia @TheKids_AU]

A joint project between @telethonkids and @UWAresearch will aim to assess and improve cultural safety in mental health services for #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander young people: https://t.co/m4oStn7vAP

The project is supported by a #MRFF grant. @healthgovau @PerthChildrens

[ASAVI (Strep A Vaccine) @ASAVI_StrepA]

Insightful panel discussion following📽️The @TakeHeartRHD: Deadly Heart screening. Sharing heartbreaking stories of lived experiences and devastating loss, this film highlights the importance of funding community-led services to prevent #RHD and keep families strong and together.

[STARFISH @STARFISH_PRG]

Currently at a screening of the #TakeHeart documentary here in Perth at the Perkins Institute @PerkinsComms with a panel discussion, including our STARFISH Chief Investigator Jonathan Carapetis @telethonkids and Indigenous Governance Council member and Investigator @vickiwade9

Great work by one of our incredible @uwanews MD students. For Australia’s Indigenous communities, preserving their languages is a matter of life and death https://t.co/9mC1XAdQvc

[Scott McCoombe @mccoombe]

@BasiaDiug @MERQMU @Monash_SPHPM So deserved @BasiaDiug. Congratulations you #highereducation rockstar.

[Scott McCoombe @mccoombe]

Such a great session and so timely given the re-establishment wave of global higher education partnerships. 🙏

[Dr Jo Bishop BSc (Hons), PhD (she/her) @JoCBishopHD]

@anzahpe and @AMEE_Online symposium at #anzahpe2022 showcased collaboration in action! So much fun with @jamckimm Chinthaka, Trevor Gibbs and interviews with @VishnaDevi @BonnyDickinson2. Great insight from delegates on where collaborations should go next!

[Elizabeth Molloy @emolloy1]

After the MD curriculum had a ‘mid-life crisis’ at age 10yrs, Lisa Cheshire tells us about the re-engineering to increase diversity of students, create flexible pathways to accommodate for students’ needs and a stronger focus on collaborative practice and assessment for learning

[Scott McCoombe @mccoombe]

Thanks Dr Joanne Hart from @syd_health presenting on the impact of the pandemic on our medical students undertaking research. There’s a dual-sided gap in 1) important research findings entering practice and 2) student experience as future clinical researchers. #anzahpe2022

[Brea Wright (she/her) @breawright_]

My take away from @SuzannePitama keynote at the @anzahpe festival: Health Prof edu is often not Culturally Safe for First Nations academics and Cultural Load is too high. Non-Indigenous engagement and institutional support are essential for an aligned EDI Framework development.

[Scott McCoombe @mccoombe]

And Suz’s tip for us to focus not just on selection of Indigenous health students but also selection of culturally safe non-Indigenous medical students will be top agenda item of our next admission and selection meeting @uwanews. Thanks again @SuzannePitama

[Mary Lawson @MaryL11JS]

When we add resources to our dream … diversity , inclusivity and equity might become a reality @SuzannePitama @anzahpe #festival #healthprofessionaleducation
