Great 3 days at #AMEE2023 loads to reflect on and apply. Good to connect with @DrKwangCham and others. It would be fantastic to see more #optometry academics at future conferences, we have plenty to learn from the wider HPE community and plenty to contribute #optometryeducation

[Will Holmes @OptomEducator]

@gabs_finn Absolutely. Will drop by this afternoon

[Will Holmes @OptomEducator]

Fantastic first day at #AMEE2023 finished with a thought provoking Symposium on AI and Health Professions Education. Couldn't agree more that we need to think about AI Education not only how it is used in Education.
