HERDSA Health Sciences SIG: 2024 end-of-year wrap-up post
HERDSA Health Sciences SIG had a very productive year. In addition to Letter to the Editor publication, we have initiated a cross-institutional peer review process of teaching and learning. Seven academics from six academic institutions (University of Adelaide, Charles Sturt University, University of Melbourne, University of Queensland, University of the Sunshine Coast and University of Technology Sydney) are involved in the peer review process which we are hoping to complete in the first trimester of 2025. The overall feedback from the active participants indicates the importance of HERDSA Health Sciences SIG in relation to motivation, capacity building and career progression in the health sciences education space. Wishing everyone a Happy Festive Season and Wonderful New 2025.
