Versluis, gynecologist at the University Medical Centre Groningen. An educational theory explains how people learn and how education can best support this learning. In this interactive World Café session, we explore various theories applicable to interprofessional education (IPE). Together, we share experiences and discover how theory can inspire practical strategies for better interprofessional education and improved patient care. After getting acquainted with each other and the topic, we use a World Café approach to explore theories and the different contexts related to IPE. A world café consists of three rounds where participants rotate in groups addressing a new aspect of IPE, theory and practice. Throughout each round, participant exchange experiences and ideas, gradually gaining a better understanding of different theories-contexts, and formulate take home messages. 2.A Glimpse into MEER! – Music-Enriched Emotion (Re)construction Dr J. (Johanna) Schönrock-Adema, researcher, principal investigator at the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG) and researcher in Music in Context at the Prince Claus Conservatoire and the Knowledge Centre for Art & Society. Healthy engagement with emotions is vital for healthcare professionals. Yet in health professions education, emotions are still often seen as disruptive to clinical judgement. This has fostered a culture of emotional detachment, affective distance and stress resilience. Especially in high-risk, life-or-death, high-paced and high-stress clinical settings, neglecting emotions can take a toll on health professionals’ wellbeing, vitality, work environment and the quality of care as it may lead to emotional exhaustion, burnout, empathy decline and compassion fatigue. To counter this, we developed a music-enriched training that supports current and future healthcare professionals in engaging with emotions in a healthy way. The training is grounded in three innovative building blocks: the Theory of Constructed Emotion, an evidence-informed six-step reflective pedagogical approach and participatory live music. This 100-minute interactive workshop offers a hands-on introduction to the training. Participants will take part in two musical exercises in which they will explore how music can evoke feelings and emotions, and work on developing emotional awareness and granularity—the ability to describe emotions in detail, a skill crucial for healthy emotion construction. Blending theory, participatory live music and practical exercises, this interactive workshop offers a unique and engaging learning experience. Participants will experience the impact of music on feelings and emotions and develop awareness on emotional granularity. Background information, underlying theory and structure of the training will also be provided. 3.Empowering Health Professions Education with AI: Creating Multimedia Learning Materials Guided by Mayer’s Principles Ligia Cayres Ribeiro, MD, PhD. Faculty of Medical Sciences/UMCG, Lifelong Learning, Education & Assessment Research Network (LEARN). The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education offers transformative opportunities for designing engaging, learner-centered content. In health professions education, where complex concepts must be communicated clearly and effectively, AI tools can support the rapid creation of multimedia materials aligned with evidence-based instructional design. This workshop introduces participants to Mayer’s Multimedia Principles of Learning and demonstrates how AI can be leveraged to generate presentations, podcasts, and visual content that enhance knowledge retention and learner engagement. This workshop is designed for educators, instructional designers, curriculum developers, and academic staff in health professions education who are interested in exploring practical applications of AI to enhance teaching and learning. Participants will be introduced to Mayer’s Multimedia Principles and their relevance to health professions education. They will also experiment with AI tools to generate PowerPoint slides, create podcasts, and visual materials such as flowcharts. 4.Supporting healthcare professionals in training by fostering motivation and organising effective onboarding. Dr. Gerbrich Galema, Anesthesiologist with a PhD in Medical Education UMCG. Wieke van der Goot, Postdoctoral researcher, Health Professions Education research & policy UMCG. To ensure future-proof care, we need engaged healthcare professionals. However, many healthcare professionals in training face challenges when learning the ropes of their profession. Effective onboarding can ease transition processes and reduce distress, while effective supervision styles can promote motivation and wellbeing of healthcare professionals in training. In this workshop, we will explore ways in which onboarding and supervision can better align with the needs and preferences of healthcare professionals in training. Based on two theoretical frameworks – organisation socialisation theory and self-determination theory – participants will discuss and explore different strategies that can be applied in practice. This workshop is designed for everyone involved in the onboarding and supervision of healthcare professionals in training. In this workshop, we will introduce organisation socialisation theory and self-determination theory and how these theoretical frameworks can be applied in health professions education. Participants will reflect on onboarding strategies of their own department and come up with onboarding strategies to effectively support the different types of healthcare professionals in training. With the help of vignettes, participants will also discuss and explore different (de)motivating supervision styles, as well as strategies for supporting learners’ motivation in daily clinical or educational practice. 5.The Student Voice in Healthcare Education Denise Batenburg, Master's student in Educational Sciences RuG. Marco de Carvalho Filho, Professor of Health Profession Education Research · WIOO UMCG - University of Groningen. Healthcare is constantly evolving, and with it, the way we prepare the next generation of professionals. Education plays a crucial role in shaping how tomorrow’s doctors, nurses, researchers, and innovators will respond to the challenges ahead. To create meaningful change in healthcare and healthcare education, we must first reimagine how we teach and learn. Yet in these conversations, one perspective often remains underrepresented: the student voice. Students experience healthcare education every day, navigating both its strengths and its challenges. Their insights are essential for building an education system that truly meets the needs of the(ir) future. Guided by a moderator, participants will engage in discussions and collaborative activities to explore questions such as: • What works well in healthcare education today? • What challenges do learners (and educators) face? • What should healthcare education look like in 2040? This is the first step toward giving students a stronger role in the symposium — with the vision of building a regular, student-led space in the years ahead.
