Session Format:
This session will lead with a panel discussion to introduce the topics, then participants will split into small groups for case-based active learning.

Session Objective/

Overview:
A panel will discuss their experience with three education-related issues: advocating for curriculum integration, asynchronous education, and assessment. After the panel, attendees will divide into small groups to tackle a predesigned case related to one of the topics discussed. Each small group will come up with a plan to address their case, then share each case and discussion points with the larger group.

Methods:
Participants will learn from peers who have experience in each of the topic areas during a panel presentation and Q&A session. After the panel, participants will break out into small groups, where they will be provided with a case study for discussion and application of the concepts discussed.

Participant Engagement:
Participants will be able to choose from several cases related to education to address in small group discussion. All small group discussions on specific topics will also contain discussion of how issues could be addressed with diversity, equity, and inclusion in mind.
