Pediatric Medical Education Conference

The Call for Enhanced Learning Sessions (ELS) submissions for the APPD 2024 Pediatric Medical Education Conference is Now Open!

Enhanced Learning Sessions are 90-minute sessions comprised of a variety of creative formats including panel discussions, debates, or workshops. Submissions should be well written, have well described educational goals and objectives, and well thought out agendas are highly sought for review. Submissions should include a detailed agenda for a 90-minute enhanced learning session.

We encourage presenters to explore non-traditional, engaging, and innovative session formats that incorporate active learning, as well as those that allow time for questions, answers, and dialogue between presenters and participants. Timely and important topics addressed by innovative teaching techniques including expert panel discussion, flipped classroom, didactic presentations, or other creative formats will be prioritized, as well submissions representing multiple institutions and job roles within pediatric medical education. Special consideration will be given to submissions that include presenters across the pediatric education spectrum including UME and GME learners.
