Reimagining Medical and Nursing Education

September 23rd, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am

The webinar will consist of a lecture on the UK and Thai approaches to creating a health system that seeks to train doctors and researchers to identify problems and develop solutions for known and emerging health issues, followed by a panel discussion on how medical and nursing education in India can be reimagined to create a learning health system, including issues of competency development, research, and structural elements of training. The panelists will discuss what comparative practices in India, UK, and Thailand, and how a health workforce can be created that responds to the needs of the system and has pathways for growth. As a Citizens’ Commission, we invite the public to participate in the discussion, provide input and engage with the panelists.
