Kulamakan (Mahan) Kulasegaram, DFCM, PhD is an Associate Professor and Director of the Office of Education Scholarship at University of Toronto. Dr. Kulasegaram's research examines educational assessment from both a psychometric and cognitive perspective. His work aims to advance assessment theory and practice by conceptualizing assessment as an instructional and advancement opportunity. This involves re-examining the entire context of assessment - the objectives, process, tools, learners, and raters - from theoretical perspectives informed by cognitive theory and best evidence on measurement. His other interest is in how assessment data can be used to inform and assist learners, teachers, and program leaders. In this area, he studies the social and scientific value of 'Big Data' in medical education. Dr. Terence P. Ma, PhD, MBA is a consultant specializing in medical education, assessment, data requirements for medical education. He has been a funded research scientist, educator, course director, department chair, assistant dean, associate dean, and chief information officer at a health sciences university. He has helped start three new medical schools and has worked in allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) medical schools. He is a classically-trained anatomist and has recently developed a competency-based, non-cadaveric, virtual, clinical anatomy program integrated with imaging that is integrated across four years of undergraduate medical education. His research focuses on the issue of how “we” know that students learned what the faculty said they would teach. He is interested in the intersection between medical education and technology, focusing on the application of contemporary medical education approaches, assessments, evaluations, technology, and implementation of competencies and competency standards. He has been a part of developing competency standards with IEEE and MedBiquitous representing health sciences education. Additionally, he chairs the Open Competency Network (OCN); an international committee focused on competency structures in the learner-earner spectrum. Jonathan Amiel, M.D. is a Professor of Psychiatry and Senior Associate Dean for Innovation in Health Professions Education at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons.

He served on the Advisory Committee for the Gold Humanism Honor Society and chaired its Membership Committee. Dr. Amiel’s work focuses on competency-based education and its relationship to the development of health professionals' identities. In his work, he partners with educators across the medical school, medical center, university, and colleagues in national and international professional societies to advance the training of health professionals to optimally meet the evolving needs of the public. The overarching goal is to ensure that training is intentional, just, and aligned with public health needs - including developing our next generation of clinician scientists, educators, and advocates. | REGISTER NOW
