Welcome The Center for Faculty and Professional Development is proud to announce the 3rd Annual Educational Scholarship Symposium. This symposium serves as a platform to highlight and celebrate scholarship and innovation in health professions education. The topics covered will include assessment and evaluation, curriculum design, education theory, communication skills, and more.

Educators, leaders, and learners from various fields within health professions education were encouraged to submit abstracts showcasing their scholarly work and innovative practices. This symposium aims to bring together a diverse community interested in fostering positive changes in education.

The Educational Scholarship Symposium showcases high-quality educational research from students, residents, fellows, faculty, mentors, and research teams within the Geisinger community. This event reflects our commitment to innovation and patientcentered care.

Following a rigorous selection process, a limited number of abstracts have been chosen for presentation at the symposium. The high level of interest and quality of submissions this year have exceeded expectations, with only a select number of oral and poster presentation slots available.

Your involvement and support are crucial to the success of the symposium and our ongoing research initiatives at Geisinger. We are grateful for your participation and look forward to your continued engagement in future symposiums as we strive to further enhance and expand the opportunities for educators to showcase their work and achievements.
