This workshop is interactive and facilitates unpacking key points discussed in the keynote presentation - Transforming assessment in health education: Reflections on the evidence to create a vision for the faculty. You will be encouraged to consider the current clinical situation and asked to become innovative partners in transforming clinical assessment practices to facilitate work-ready health professions graduates.

Haiku is a concise, evocative Japanese poetic form that offers opportunities for reflection. This poetic form has been incorporated into health professions education by educators such as Gair (2012), who found that haiku can help cultivate empathy. Since 2018, we have run an annual haiku workshop to encourage reflection and connection among cohorts of first-year graduate-entry medical students. The tag line for our workshop exemplifies the haiku form while summarising the session:-

Our haiku workshops held in August 2020 and September 2021 were the first to run fully online, adapting better than expected and receiving outstanding student feedback. We then ran one at the 2021 MRH Education Symposium and are now delighted to offer the same workshop to those attending the 2022 Symposium. During this Zoom workshop, you will learn the history and theory underlying haiku composition, receive haiku writing tips and prompts, write your own or collaborative haiku in breakout rooms, and, optionally, share your final pieces with others. Please consider joining us for this relaxing and fun-filled reflective writing workshop.

The Lancet Commission has indicated that climate change is the "biggest global health threat of the 21st Century" and the AMA has called climate change a health emergency. The impacts of changes to our climate are felt even more immediately in rural areas through floods, fires and drought. Health professions students will be at the forefront of these changes and are keen to receive education in this space. This hybrid workshop therefore, is designed to encourage MRH educators to incorporate a sustainability lens into your teaching practices even if you are not content experts. Through interactive activities, we hope to equip you with some of the skills, knowledge and confidence to develop your own curricula so that our rural health professional students are better prepared for the impacts of a changing climate and to move forward in a more sustainable way.
