Washington, D.C. - The Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions (ASAHP) announced today that it will present the 2022 ASAHP Regional Summits on June 3, 2022, bringing together health industry and academic partners to discuss how to adapt to innovations and changes within health professions. For the first time, ASAHP will be holding these Regional Summits concurrently in four unique hub site locations across the U.S., as opposed to the one location they have hosted in previous years. Each location will feature an in-person opportunity for dialogue and action between multiple stakeholders from academia and the healthcare industry to discuss improvements to clinical education. These summits are designed to create specific strategies to enhance health professions education and improve the health of individuals and communities.
The in-person Regional Summit Hubs will take place on Friday, June 3, 2022 from 12:30pm-5:00pm ET/11:30am-4:00pm CT at the following four hub site locations:
Seton Hall University's School of Health and Medical Sciences Interprofessional Health Sciences (IHS) Campus in Nutley, New Jersey.
Nova Southeastern University's Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Science in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
University of Cincinnati's College of Allied Health Sciences in Cincinnati, Ohio
University of South Dakota School of Health Sciences in South Dakota
Also new this year- the Summits will culminate with all four hub sites convening in a virtual "Harvest" session consensus event designed to continue the local dialogue on a national level.
ASAHP members and industry partners who are interested in participating may register here. The deadline is May 27, and registration is limited.
“It’s critical that educators collaborate with practitioners to adapt to industry changes as they prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals,” said ASAHP President Deb Larsen, PhD, FASAHP. “These Regional Summits provide real-time collaborative opportunities for academic institutions and health industry partners to share challenges and come up with solutions to improve health outcomes for the U.S. population. Whether it’s forging new partnerships, adopting new technologies or adjusting a curriculum to reflect new research, we believe these ASAHP Regional Summits will play a key role in improving the future of clinical education.”
