Teaching in the health professions means preparing students for the complexities of real-world practice. The Health Professions Educators Conference (HPEC) is designed to help you meet these challenges with practical, evidence-based strategies you can bring back to your teaching.  

This one-day virtual conference from The Teaching Professor brings together educators in nursing, physical therapy, dentistry, and other health-related fields to explore effective instructional approaches, exchange ideas, and discover new ways to support student learning. Whether you teach in a classroom, laboratory, online course, or clinical setting, you’ll find opportunities to strengthen your practice and make a meaningful difference in your students’ preparation for the healthcare workforce. 

Join us live on April 13, 2027, for two plenary presentations and 15 concurrent sessions covering timely topics such as artificial intelligence, simulation, competency-based education, student engagement, assessment, inclusive teaching, and well-being. You’ll gain fresh perspectives, explore solutions to common teaching challenges, and discover approaches you can adapt to your own courses and learning environments.
