โœจ [Reimagining Bioethics for Tomorrow's Healthcare] Reflecting on a Landmark APBEN 6th Conferenceโœจ

We are pleased to reflect on the successful Asia Pacific Bioethics Education Network (APBEN) 6th Conference. ๐Ÿ‘ Held on 31 October and 1 November, the lively gathering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong brought together educators, researchers, and healthcare professionals across the region to promote dialogue under the theme โ€œReimagining Bioethics for Tomorrow's Healthcareโ€. ๐Ÿ’ฌ We also proudly celebrated the 10th anniversary of the CUHK Centre for Bioethics! ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‚

The conference started with in-depth Pre-Conference Workshops ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ on 31 October, covering key topics from Teaching Clinical Ethics and AI in Education ๐Ÿค– to effective evaluation methods in medical education research. ๐Ÿ“Š

Following its inauguration by distinguished leaders, including Dr. Ann Lau, Prof. Ho Keung Ng, Dr. Wai Tat Wong, and Dr. Pacifico Eric Eusebio Calderon, the main conference on 1 November featured morning Plenary Sessions. ๐ŸŽค These covered advances in undergraduate bioethics teaching, how local cultural context ๐ŸŒ affects bioethics education, and the potential for pre-university ethics teaching, alongside dynamic Parallel Sessions showcasing diverse perspectives across the Asia-Pacific.
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to end-of-life care ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ, which required corresponding education strategies to facilitate progress. The conference concluded with further engaging parallel sessions, culminating in a plenary on adopting student-co-designed interprofessional education (IPE) ๐Ÿค to ensure the sustainability of bioethics education. ๐ŸŒฑ

This conference strengthened our shared commitment to advancing bioethics education and practice. โค๏ธ A heartfelt thank you to all speakers, partners, and participants for making this exchange of ideas so meaningful. ๐Ÿ™ The discussions begun here will undoubtedly shape the future of bioethics education across the Asia Pacific and beyond! ๐Ÿš€

Workshop 2: Measuring What Matters: Practical Approaches for Healthcare/Bioethics Educators
Time: 1:00 PM โ€“ 3:30 PM
Speakers: Dr. Veronica Lai (The Hospital for Sick Children) and Dr. Wai-Tat Wong (CUHK Centre for Bioethics, CUHK Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong)

Abstract: This interactive workshop supports healthcare/bioethics educators in developing practical skills to evaluate ethics-related teaching in their own settings. Instead of focusing on ethics content, the session guides participants through examining the outcomes of teaching ethically complex topics, such as end-of-life care, informed consent, or professionalism. Participants will learn how to define meaningful learning outcomes, choose between qualitative and quantitative approaches, and apply simple analysis methods such as pre-post surveys or thematic coding.

Biography
Dr. Veronica Lai is a research associate at The Hospital for Sick Children at the University of Toronto, where she concentrates on the methodological quality of designing, analysing, and reporting randomised controlled trials. She currently contributes to the design of outcomes for rare paediatric disease trials within RareKids-CAN, a national network supporting rare paediatric disease research in Canada. Her broader research programme links psychology, health, and implementation science. Veronica has experience in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and has collaborated on international projects aimed at enhancing evidence standards in healthcare research.

Dr. Wai Tat Wong received the University Education Award and Faculty Teaching Award in 2024 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Dr Wong is heavily involved in undergraduate teaching in acute medicine, communication skills, professionalism, and clinical ethics. He serves as the chairperson of the Hong Kong Society of Critical Care Medicine (HKSCCM) and the Asian Pacific Bioethics Education Network (APBEN). His research spans medical education, clinical ethics, ICU end-of-life care, and organ donation.

Who is/ are the workshopโ€™s targeted audience(s)?
Students and faculty members with a limited background in empirical research methods

๐Ÿ’กAbstract: This interactive workshop supports healthcare/bioethics educators in developing practical skills to evaluate ethics-related teaching in their own settings. Instead of focusing on ethics content, the session guides participants through examining the outcomes of teaching ethically complex topics, such as end-of-life care, informed consent, or professionalism. Participants will explore both qualitative and quantitative approaches, including pre-post surveys and thematic analysis.
