FORT LAUDERDALE/DAVIE, Fla. – The Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions (ASAHP) will present the 2023 ASAHP Regional Summits on Thursday, May 25, 2023, with a theme of “Joining Forces to Build a Resilient, Collaborative and Practice-Ready Healthcare Workforce.” These annual in-person summits bring together academic institutions and their health care industry partners to promote dialogue, improve collaboration, and enhance health outcomes.
Held in-person concurrently at member institution-hosted “Hubs,” the Summits will culminate in a virtual “harvest” session between Hub participants who engage in a national-level conversation. ASAHP is expanding the 2023 Regional Summits to include six unique Hub site locations across the U.S. In 2022, ASAHP expanded the Regional Summits to three Hub locations; prior to that, the annual event took place in a single location. Each Hub will include an opportunity for dialogue and action between multiple stakeholders from academia and the healthcare industry to discuss improvements to clinical education. The Summits are designed to create specific strategies to enhance health professions education and improve the health of individuals and communities.
The in-person Regional Summit Hubs will take place on Thursday, May 25, 2023, from noon to 4:30 p.m. (ET); 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (CT); and 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (MT) at the following six Hub site locations:
- HUB: Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Nova Southeastern University’s Davie Campus
- HUB: Cincinnati, Ohio – University of Cincinnati
- HUB: Sioux Falls, South Dakota – University of South Dakota
- HUB: Nutley, New Jersey – Seton Hall University’s School of Health and Medical Sciences Interprofessional Health Sciences (IHS) Campus.
- HUB: Layton, Utah – Weber State University’s Dumke College of Health Professions and University of Utah’s College of Health
- HUB: Houston, Texas – University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), and University of Texas Health Science Center at School of Allied Health Sciences in San Antonio
ASAHP members and industry partners who are interested in participating may register here. The deadline for advance registration is May 19 and registration is limited.
“We are thrilled to expand the Regional Summits this year to six locations across the country where our member institutions and their health industry partners can exchange knowledge and ideas. Participants will devote their day to interprofessional collaboration and problem solving which, we believe, will play a key role in improving both the future of clinical education as well as health outcomes for the U.S. population,” said ASAHP President Deb Larsen, Ph.D., FASAHP.
