Digital Education: Twitter, Podcasts, Visuals, and Beyond is the first annual national conference presented by the Innovations in Media and Education Delivery (iMED) Initiative at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In the last several years, we have seen an explosion in medical educators using new types of media to reach their learners. Trainees and faculty are increasingly digital natives and desire educational content in digital, portable formats. These trends have only been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of the conference is to provide a comprehensive and practical experience for medical educators. A “main track” will provide an overview of digital education, critical appraisal, curriculum integration, and how all of this plays into professional development for educators. Four parallel “skills tracks” will provide small group learning on practical skills to both consume and produce digital education. All the sessions will be recorded and made available to all attendees. All the sessions are taught by national leaders in digital education; dedicated networking time and opportunities will be provided throughout the conference.
