Dr. Williams workshops at the Ottawa Conference

Dr. Williams and Dr. Turco with Wolters Kluwer representative at Ottawa Conference 2018

Dr. Williams recently returned from Abu Dhabi where she attended the  Ottawa Conference. This conference addresses the continuum (undergraduate, post graduate, and continuing education) of health care professions’ education and assessment. The conference focused on developments in the assessment of competence in medical students, residents, practicing doctors, and other healthcare professionals. Dr. Williams presented two workshops at the conference.

She presented the first workshop with Dr. Mary Turco and Dr. Dave Davis. Content from the first workshop was drawn from chapter 25 (Olson, C., and Williams, B. Principles of Effective Research in Continuing Professional Development in the Health Professions) of the book, Continuing Professional Development in Medicine and Health Care: Better Education Better Patient Outcomes .
