Title: Interrogating Entrenched Evaluation Paradigms
Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2025 – This webinar will be delivered in English
Presentation 1: 12:00pm-1:00pm Eastern, (9:00am-10:00am Pacific)
Presentation 2: 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific, (3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern)
Presenter: Dr. Deena Hamza, University of Alberta
Biography:
-
Dr. Hamza is an innovation and health professions education and practice scientist, specializing in studying the interdependencies between the design, implementation, and evaluation of change in diverse contexts. Her program of research focuses on the development of frameworks that attend to, what she calls, the ecology of change, and how innovations, systems, and people expected to enact the change influence one another.
Webinar Overview
Evaluation practices in medical education have long relied on traditional frameworks that often privilege standardization over contextualization and simplicity over complexity. While these paradigms offer structure and comparability, they can also reinforce biases, perpetuate inequities, and constrain innovation in assessment.
This webinar invites participants to critically examine entrenched evaluation paradigms in health professions education. Together, we will explore the historical and cultural forces that shaped current approaches, analyze their impact on learners and educators, and consider alternative models that better reflect the values of inclusivity, fairness, and authentic assessment. Through reflection and discussion, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to navigate and challenge existing evaluation structures in their own contexts.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the dominant paradigms that have shaped evaluation practices in medical and health professions education.
- Critically analyze the limitations and unintended consequences of entrenched evaluation systems, including issues of bias, equity, and learner experience.
- Reflect on how entrenched evaluation practices affect their own teaching, learning, or institutional contexts.
- Identify alternative approaches or innovations that challenge traditional paradigms and align more closely with values such as fairness, inclusivity, and authentic advancement.
- Develop initial strategies for questioning and re-imagining evaluation practices within their own educational or clinical environments.

Title: The Impact of a Single Drop of Water: A Program of Scholarship Examining Medical Student Career Selection
Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2026 – This webinar will be delivered in English
Presentation 1: 12:00pm-1:00pm Eastern, (9:00am-10:00am Pacific)
Presentation 2: 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific, (3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern)
Presenter: Dr. Paris Ingledew, University of British Columbia
Biography:
Dr. Paris-Ann Ingledew is a Clinical Professor in the UBC Department of Surgery and the Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of BC Cancer. She is the UBC Undergraduate Division Director for Radiation Oncology & Developmental Radiotherapeutics. Clinically, she works as a Radiation Oncologist at the Vancouver Cancer Centre. To all her roles she brings a deep passion for excellence in patient care, clinical teaching and medical education research.
She completed her MD and residency at UBC. She was a UBC Center for Health Education Scholarship (CHES) Fellow and she completed her MHPE at the University of Illinois Chicago. She has contributed to setting national standards for training medical students in oncology and is the lead for a non-profit website used nationally and internationally in medical schools www.learnoncology.ca. With respect to resident education, she is the Chair of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Radiation Oncology Specialty Committee. Her current research interests are focused on the physician competencies related to patient education and projects related to oncology education in the undergraduate medical setting.
Webinar Overview:
The formal medical school curriculum is typically saturated, resulting in a finite exposure to many critical knowledge areas. For some areas of medicine, this relative underexposure may impact awareness of and interest in specialty careers. Radiation oncology is a small to moderate sized residency program in Canada. For several years, residency applications had declined, with many programs going unmatched. With an ever-increasing prevalence and incidence of cancer, and approximately 40% of Canadians developing cancer in their lifetime, it is essential to have a stable supply of oncology specialists. A scholarly approach was taken to understand both the enablers and barriers to selection of radiation oncology as a career path. Our research findings mapped to existing conceptual frameworks showing the impact of many systems and factors on medical student career choice. In radiation oncology, a personal connection to the specialty, early curricular and clinical exposure and longitudinal mentorship were highly impactful.
Over almost a decade, purposeful interventions have been developed and implemented to address these findings. These include a funded summer observerships and research experiences, a national scientific meeting research award complimented with resident mentorship, career information podcasts, and a national extra-curricular oncology course complimented with staff mentorship. Iterative evaluation of these programs has shown a positive impact on medical student awareness of oncology and improved interest in oncology related residency programs. Radiation oncology applications have stabilized with all programs having sufficient interest to meet demand.
This webinar will explore research in medical student career selection and demonstrate the use of a scholarly approach to thoughtfully expand existing knowledge, develop and implement informed interventions with ongoing iterative evaluation.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe existing and expanded conceptual frameworks to describe enabling factors and barriers that impact medical student career selection.
- Recognize the impacts of personal connection and mentorship on recruitment and retention to career paths.
- Identify opportunities in the participants’ own context where a scholarly approach may be used to expand on existing knowledge and allow for informed strategies to address emerging medical education issues.

Title:Unravelling the Complexities of Teacher Motivation from the Perspectives of Teachers, Learners and Leadership: Implications for Teacher Engagement and Recruitment
Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2026 – This webinar will be delivered in English
Presentation 1: 12:00pm-1:00pm Eastern, (9:00am-10:00am Pacific)
Presentation 2: 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific, (3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern)
Presenter: Dr. Katherine Wisener, University of British Columbia
Biography:
Webinar Overview:
The recruitment and retention of teachers in Health Professions Education (HPE) is challenging and creates a significant amount of stress and pressure on programs to mitigate. Implementing incentives and strategies that ought to support those who teach can backfire if not delivered carefully, often unintentionally worsening the problem. For example, teaching awards, financial stipends, and feedback from learners can create perceptions of undervalue when they are impersonal, inequitable, inefficient, or poorly framed. In this presentation, I will highlight the perspectives of teachers themselves, the learners they teach, and those in educational leadership roles who supervise teachers in order to offer a holistic view of the complexities, unintended consequences, and nuanced perspectives in an attempt to elucidate helpful insight into how teachers may be better supported. The goal of this presentation is to further our understanding around how HPE teachers’ motivations can be optimized to recruit, support and retain teachers while reinforcing their engagement with, and dedication to, teaching.
