Amid uncertainty and rapid change in health professions education, reconnecting to our core values—and with one another—can be a powerful anchor. Together, we will explore how the interconnected elements of character, caring, and practical wisdom can guide us toward collective flourishing, even in turbulent times. Discover ways of strengthening authentic connection, tapping into communal wisdom, and sparkling systems change through day-to-day practices and small wins. Leave with new perspective and renewed energy for navigating a shifting landscape with hope, clarity, and agency.
