Continuing professional development in higher education

Research output: Other contribution to conferencePosterpeer-review

Abstract

Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) programs in Australia, which are accredited by the Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS) adhere to standards and requirements set out by AIMS to maintain professional accreditation. Continuing professional development (CPD) plays a key role in improving the overall quality of patient care and is increasingly considered essential in the medical laboratory workforce. Clinical placement supervisors play an important role in contributing towards graduate learning outcomes. Work-integrated learning (WIL) provides hands-on experience and prepares students for ‘real-world’ experiences. The currency of learning content has a significant impact on student learning experience, performance, and graduate opportunities.

OtherOn behalf of AIMS, I would like to invite members, students, trade and colleagues to join us for the National Scientific Meeting in Adelaide, South Australia from 21st-23rd August 2024. This will be our first face to face national scientific meeting post pandemic to allow more interaction, networking and collaboration. By listening to talks, viewing posters and discussing new ideas can improve your knowledge and awareness of advances in medical laboratory science. The face to face interaction offers exchange of experiences with other colleagues helping you to improve practice in your own laboratory. We will welcome back our trade partners to display up to date technology to allow conference participants to learn the new advances and initiatives. This will also be an excellent continuing educational opportunity to obtain CPD points towards your APACE certificate and certification. There will also be opportunity for touring destinations in South Australia to appreciate its natural landscapes.

Professor Denise Jackson
President, AIMS.
