Overview
Mission
The learning communities institute (lci) promotes the creation and implementation of learning communities with an initial focus on undergraduate medical education institutions in the united states, mexico, and canada. As learning communities become recognized as a mark of excellence in an institution's commitment to training effective and compassionate providers we envision they will have broader appeal across graduate medical education and other health professions. The lci will promote collaborations spanning institutions and disciplines to further scholarship and understanding of best practices and outcomes involving learning communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
The learning communities institute (lci) annual meeting is a 2-3 day conference, hosted by a member institution and funded by the lci, inc. Meeting activities happen in and around the educational spaces on campus. This not only helps us keep costs down but also gives attendees the opportunity to see other medical school facilities. Each meeting features a keynote/plenary presentation; interactive workshops and oral presentations; and a poster session. Time is also built into the schedule for social gatherings and learning community small groups to debrief conference content. There are opportunities to learn about the lci organization and how to get involved, as well as targeted support for new or in-development learning communities. The 22nd annual meeting was held in albuquerque, nm on september 20-22, 2024.in addition to the annual meeting, our professional development committee hosts quarterly webinars to discuss hot topics within learning communities throughout the nation. Our research network committee also hosts quarterly labs, lci members can bring project ideas to get advice from research experts and find like-minded collaborators.
