Presented by Dr. Melissa Davidson, Dr. Nathalie Feldman and Dr. Karen George
12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M.
Sullivan Classroom (Medical Education Pavilion Room 200)
The best definition and assessment of professionalism remain topics of hot debate in medical education. This was the debate taken up by the Millennium Conference, a prestigious invitation-only meeting of leaders in medical education hosted by Harvard Medical School's Shapiro Institute. In 2023, the Larner College of Medicine was represented at the Millennium Conferences by Drs. Nathalie Feldman, Director of the Learning Environment and Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Melissa Davidson, Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education, and Professor of Anesthesiology and Pediatrics, Karen George, Associate Dean for Students, Medical Education and Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Tim Lahey, Director of the Department of Ethics and Professor of Medicine, and 2023 Larner graduate Dr. Isaac de LaBruere. Drs. Feldman, Davidson and George will share what they learned at the conference and how it’s being applied at the Larner College of Medicine. Lunch will be provided, first come, first served. In-person attendance is strongly encouraged.
