We are bringing together scholars, practitioners, leaders, and learners to explore and advance our understanding and the study of professionalism and professional identity formation in the health professions.
This Twitter-hosted Conference is sponsored by the Education Innovation Institute (EII) of the Medical College of Georgia and Augusta University.
Submit your presentation today for our inaugural Medical Education Conference hosted on Twitter.
Send your 200 word abstract to Joslyn Richards (josrichards@augusta.edu) by November 30th.
We will notify presenters of their abstract’s status by January 18, 2021.
Each author will present their topic in a 10-15 Tweet thread over a 15 minute scheduled time slot followed by 15 minutes for questions and discussion over Twitter.
Presentations may involve text, links, and multi-media (images, gifs, videos, etc.).
They must be well planned and prepared. Even after the allotted time, the conversation can and often does continue.
A Presenter’s Guide with technical tips and guidance will be available for all presenters (and participants).

We reserve the right to choose abstracts based on multiple criteria, such as the reviews (with score), available space in the conference, and diversity of the presentations.
We designed this conference conducted on Twitter based on successful models in other disciplines and on our own conference on professional identity formation held in February (#MCGconf2021PIF). We hope you take this opportunity to share your scholarship with the international health professions education community in this new way.
We hope you will be a part of the first one in medical education. Join us with the hashtag: #MCGConf2021PIF
We are committed to ensuring that our presenters and their audiences are treated with respect as they participate in our conference. We reserve the right to take action if we determine that any presenter or audience member is exhibiting disrespect or harassing another conference participant.
