A MEDICAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
Stanford Medicine X | ED is a conference on the future of medical education at the intersections of people, technology and design.
As an Everyone Included™ program, it aims to place patients and caregivers at the center of medical education, in partnership with medical learners and teachers.
We challenge the belief that medical education is domain exclusive to health care practitioners, but instead benefits from interdisciplinary co-creation with all relevant health care stakeholders.
It is the culmination of six years of co-creation with patients, caregivers, providers, technologists, and researchers at Stanford Medicine X that has resulted in a series of design and leadership principles intended to bring diverse groups of people together on equal footing to collaborate and co-create the future of health care.

Dinesh offers the following remarks in advance of his Medicine X keynote
Harvey Cushing said that, “I would like to see the day when somebody would be appointed surgeon somewhere who had no hands, for the operative part is the least part of the work.”
That day is now.
Medicine is a profession that has long expanded not just the boundaries of science, but human achievement. In an era where humanity is coming together by destroying prejudices of colour, gender and physical attributes; the time is ripe for our profession to begin reflecting the society that we serve.
The medical community, in its broad scope, has a place for the passion of even the most diverse medical practitioner. It is this diversity that will strengthen the profession to solve humanity’s problems for the future.
It is more than possible to make medical education, and the profession, inclusive. Now is the time.

Join a global community organized around innovating the future of medical education through a framework of mutual respect and inclusivity we call Everyone Included™. Receive updates when we launch our call for presenters, announce our program and open registration.
Our focus at Medicine X | ED 2018 will be to help educators create disruption in medical education through partnership with patients and interprofessional collaboration. Our goal this year is to focus on creating opportunities for educators from around the world to share their expertise with each other, and for networks of expertise within our Medicine X community to form around important areas of patient partnership, inter-professional collaboration, and addressing gaps in medical curricula at the intersection of people, technology and design.
CO-CREATION: WORKING TOGETHER TO ADVANCE MEDICAL EDUCATION
How might patients, interprofessional care teams and medical educators work together to co-create the educational system that will nurture a compassionate, and patient-centered health care system that best meets the needs of our communities? This year’s Medicine X | ED will highlight advanced educational learning technologies, new innovative pedagogical methods, and most importantly workshop practical skills educators themselves can learn and take back with them to implement at their home institutions to better meet students where they are and improve how we teach and learn in health care today.
A FOCUS ON PERSONAL CONNECTIONS AND AN INTIMATE STAGE
We are pulling in the focus of our Spring event and returning to the Quadrus Center across from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), the site of our inaugural Medicine X | ED event. Here, under one-hundred year old oak trees and intimate small classroom settings, we plan to re-focus Medicine X | ED as an event for medical educators working in the trenches to disrupt medical education. We aim to give you tangible skills and quality networking opportunities to elevate your transformative ideas to the next level.

About Medicine X | ED
Medicine X | ED will focus on the future of medical education in the new Millennium, the role technology and networked intelligence might play in driving educational innovation, the new challenges facing health care education in the new Millennium, as well as the need to change the culture of medical education to be more patient-centered, participatory and patient-safety-focused. In order to provide a more intimate and personalized experience, the conference will take place in a smaller venue this year, at the Quadrus Center across from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
Why Medicine X | ED?
We believe in order to create a medical education system that best supports patient-centered health care, we must first build a community of like-minded individuals who believe in transforming the medical education process. We aim to activate these individuals to form partnerships that will result in significant new innovations in bringing PCOR and CER to the forefront of medical practice. The centerpiece of this community is, Stanford Medicine X | ED, an academic medical conference focused on the future of patient-centered medical education.
This meeting will be one of the major venues for medical educators focused on innovation through patient and interprofessional partnership to present and publish their work and to network with a diverse audience of health care providers, patients, researchers, caregivers, technologists, medical students, and residents.
