The Brian D. Hodges Symposium brings together the community of health professions education researchers, educators, scholars and students, with an aim to motivate attendees to think beyond the boundaries of their current work and look for points of intersection with the research of others. The symposium provides a rare opportunity for in-depth discussion of the theory and practice of education. Attendees will enjoy invited presentations from global leaders in health professions education and the next generation of education scientists and scholars.

This year’s Symposium topic, Professionalism and Health Professionals in the Age of Advocacy and Activism, will feature Dr. Tasha Wyatt as the keynote speaker. Dr.. Wyatt is Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Health Professions Education at Uniformed Services University. As a trained educational psychologist in cross-cultural, her interests include the study of race, ethnicity, and culture, and the ways these elements intersect with educational systems. Current areas of research include critical perspectives on the professional identity formation of racially minoritized physicians, strategies for professional resistance in medicine, and the control of others' time as a form of oppression in medical education.
