Workshop Descriptions:
Building Trusting Team Relationships
Explore the role of trust in interprofessional teams and teamwork and examine how trust and distrust are experienced from different perspectives. Through self-reflection, discussion, and practical application, participants will identify the behaviors, conditions, and practices that foster trust, as well as those that erode it. Participants will engage with peers to better understand how trust influences collaboration, psychological safety, engagement, accountability, and workplace culture.
Data with Purpose: Telling the Story of Educational Impact Using ICEP Learning Portal Data
Transform raw educational metrics into compelling narratives of program impact. This interactive workshop explores how to leverage the rich data within the ICEP Learning Portal to drive continuous quality improvement, satisfy accreditation standards, and foster scholarly activity. Participants will gain practical strategies for interpreting learner participation, evaluation trends, and Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS) data to answer key planning questions and enhance recurring activities. Additionally, the session highlights the integration of modern AI tools to streamline data analysis, while addressing data limitations to unlock new opportunities for innovation and educational scholarship.
Deal Me In: Bringing Gamification into Health Professions Education with the Help of AI
Gamified learning has emerged as a powerful educational tool to support student engagement and critical thinking in health professions education. However, its development and implementation is often hindered by barriers such as available faculty time, resources, and instructional design expertise. This workshop will explore how generative artificial intelligence (AI), can serve as catalysts that lower the “activation energy” required to design and integrate gamified learning strategies across health professions learning environments.
By the end of the session, attendees will be empowered to leverage AI tools during the design and implementation of gamified learning strategies. At the completion of this session, participants will be encouraged to share their prompts and products with each other. Thus, we anticipate that attendees will leave with example prompts and outputs provided by facilitators, as well as those generated throughout this workshop by colleagues.
Making Learning Stick: Support Strategies for Sustaining Change
Strengthen your continuing education planning and teaching skills by exploring practical strategies and tools that reinforce learning and sustain changes in professional practice beyond educational activities. Through short presentations, interactive discussions, and hands-on activities, participants will examine key findings from the UW-Madison ICEP Support Strategies Project, explore examples of support strategies and tools, and consider how these approaches can enhance the effectiveness of continuing education. Participants will apply what they learn by developing a plan to create a new support strategy or tool relevant to their own role in accredited continuing education.
