SUMMARY:Spotlight on Open Educational Resources in Medical Education with Dr. Teresa Chan
DESCRIPTION:Join medical education expert Dr. Teresa Chan\, Dean & Vice 
 President\, School of Medicine\, Toronto Metropolitan University to discuss 
 the topic of OER and Medical Education. This is a 2026 Open Education Week 
 event. Come celebrate with us. \n\nOpen educational resources (OER) are 
 expanding access to medical knowledge in meaningful ways\, they support 
 flexible learning\, timely knowledge sharing\, and broader educational 
 reach\, as well as diversification of medical education materials. From 
 podcasts to scholarly blogs\, these open resources are becoming an 
 important complement to traditional medical education teaching resources 
 like lectures and textbooks. However\, with the  opportunity of open 
 resources that support medical education comes a responsibility for 
 evaluation. Medical learners\, educators\, and clinicians must approach 
 medical open educational resources with a discerning and critical lens\, 
 ensuring the information they use is credible\, evidence-informed\, and 
 relevant to practice. \n\nThis 1 hour Keynote session with Dr. Chan will be 
 followed by a short 30 minute panel discussion with TMU students involved 
 with creating OER. \n\nThe moderators for this event are Melissa Helwig\, 
 Head Medical Librarian and Ann Ludbrook. \n\nStudent Speakers

 M. Chan is the Founding Dean of the Toronto Metropolitan University School 
 of Medicine as well as TMU’s Vice-President\, Medical Affairs. \n\nDr.
