The call for proposals for
satellite programme education sessions is now open. The International Scientific Committee (ISC) is seeking sessions that:
- are relevant to the congress theme and one or more of the programme tracks
- include speakers with international experience and standing in the topic area
- articulate a clear purpose and learning objectives
- focus on applied skills
- incorporate current available evidence and implications for practice
- are designed to stimulate active engagement with delegates
- appeal to an internationally diverse audience
The satellite programme is a new and innovative part of the WCPT congress experience. Complementing the scientific programme, it will be made up of education sessions and clinical visits with a focus on applied knowledge and skills. It will offer the delegate the chance to listen to the latest research and advances while gaining practical experience. Sessions are designed to actively engage participants, via a range of learning formats, to explore issues in depth in an area of clinical practice, education, management, research or policy.
The satellite programme is an optional element open to delegates who register to attend at least one day of the main congress and it will carry a separate fee. Sessions will be offered on the two days pre and two days post congress, as well as in parallel to the scientific programme. Attendance numbers will be restricted.
Each session is to be organised by a recognised expert in the field. The ISC are keen to include a wide range of sessions that involve presenters from all of WCPT’s regions.
