Alumni activities 2009

SHEILA builds on a lively international network of alumni and students of the SHE programmes that include a PhD, Master’s and Joint Master’s Programme in Health Professions Education.

SHEILA learns @AMEE 2009
Sunday, the 30th of August, the SHEILA@AMEE workshop Change Management in health professions education starts with special attention to the book ‘How to succeed at medical school: an essential guide to learning,’ written by Jo Brown and Dason Evans. Dason, who finished the MHPE in 2004, is participant of this year’s workshop and one of last year’s introduction speakers. After a short introduction by SHEILA’s chair Jolien van den Houten, Hanan Al Kadri and Takuya Saiki reflect on the challenges of introducing and implementing new educational and organisational concepts. Their core messages are the topic of small group discussions.

• Takuya Saiki from Nagoya University Hospital, Japan, kicks off the workshop with his presentation 'Creating a culture of collaboration within / among academic institutions'. Serious shortage of physicians in Japan’s rural area instigates Nagoya University to share features with and create mild relationships among seven universities for the purpose of educating young physicians collaboratively. Several aspects, such as specific culture, influence this collaborative process and its activities. Takuya’s reflection on this process by using implementation theory as set out by Grol et al. offers theoretical insights which can be applied to other situations.
• Hanan Al Kadri from King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Saudi Arabia, uses change management theory and, in particular, the eight step process of change management as a reflection tool in her presentation 'From Clinical to Academic Institution, Change Management at KSAU-HS’ . She describes the ideas, people, opportunities and threats that influence the change process and the central role of curriculum development. The culture that plays a role in this whole process is explained. Hanan’s case of a top-down implementation in Saudi Arabia offers core ideas to be used in other situations too.

The workshop is continued with small group discussions in which the participants reflect on their own situations by using key concepts of implementation strategy (Takuya’s slide # 19) and change management (Hanan’s slide # 13).
Finally, the theme of the SHEILA @ AMEE 2010 workshop is being discussed and will involve faculty development. Thanks to all participants and in particular to Takuya and Hanan for their interesting presentations and triggering of further thoughts and discussions. As one of the participants said, 'It was awesome'.
