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.

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. Lyn K. Sonnenberg, University of Alberta
Biography:
Lyn K. Sonnenberg
HonBSc, MSc, MD, MEd, FRCPC (Peds, Dev Peds), EMBA
Lyn Sonnenberg is an educational innovator, a forward-thinking, intuitive, and strategic advisor who inspires and empowers. An experienced clinical and academic leader with advanced skills in assessment and education technology, she is recognized nationally and internationally for her teaching excellence, both as a medical education futurist and an equity, diversity, inclusivity, and ableism champion. She is drawn to the spaces of leadership in medical education, interprofessional collaboration, and professional identity formation. She previously served as the Associate Dean, Educational Innovation & Academic Technologies at the University of Alberta. A Professor Emeritus in Pediatrics at the University of Alberta, she is still a practicing neurodevelopmental pediatrician working with underserved communities. She has served previously as the Vice President of the Medical Council of Canada and the Inaugural Director, Learning Transformation at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. She is the lead investigator for the CARE-AI project.
Overview:
AI is already shaping how learners study, how educators assess, and how institutions make decisions, often faster than policies, curricula, or comfort levels can keep up. This session starts from that reality. We’ll introduce the Health CARE-AI Framework not as abstract ethics, but as a practical way to name the responsibility showing up in everyday teaching and learning. Using familiar scenarios, participants will work through the ethical and professionalism questions AI introduces, particularly around accountability and judgment, while applying CARE-AI as a shared language to guide concrete decisions in curriculum, faculty development, and policy that keep equity and human judgment at the center of educational practice.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants should be able to:
1. Explain how the Health CARE-AI Framework supports responsible ethics in health professions education, research, and care.
2. Critically engage with AI in health education scenarios to surface ethical tensions, institutional responsibilities, and relational impacts on learners, educators, and patients.
3. Develop actionable strategies to embed the Health CARE-AI principles into curriculum, policy, and faculty development initiatives that reflect the evolving role of AI in teaching and learning.

Presenter: Dr. Husein Moloo, University of Ottawa
Husein is a colorectal surgeon at the Ottawa hospital who has a background in quality improvement and patient safety.

He is currently the Director of Planetary Health for the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa and Physician for Planetary Health at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
Overview: Planetary health is increasingly recognized as foundational to human health, yet its integration into health professions education remains uneven and fragmented. This session will briefly frame planetary health as a core competency for physicians, highlighting its relevance to patient care, health systems, and professional responsibility. The webinar will explore practical approaches to embedding planetary health content across undergraduate health professions education, postgraduate training, and continuing professional development. Particular attention will be paid to pragmatic and scalable solutions. Participants will be introduced to concrete examples, implementation considerations, and lessons learned from existing initiatives. The session will emphasize actionable steps educators can take within their own institutional contexts.
Objectives:
- Describe the relevance of planetary health to health professions education and contemporary clinical practice.
- Identify opportunities to integrate planetary health concepts across undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing health professions education.
- Explain how quality improvement frameworks can be leveraged to operationalize planetary health education within training programs and clinical settings.
- Recognize common barriers and facilitators to implementing planetary health curricula in health professions education.
- Apply at least one practical strategy to advance planetary health education within their own educational or clinical context.
