We are excited to have Dr. Irby, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at University of California San Francisco, presenting his talk “Improving Learning Environments (and Learning Communities): What do we know and how can we do it?” at this year’s conference.  He will report on the results of a 2018 national consensus conference that he chaired, convened by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, and will share a new framework for understanding Learning Environments and how to design spaces where all learn and thrive.  This presentation is a must see for all medical educators and the LCI is exceedingly privileged to offer this opportunity to all of our members and friends who attend this year's LCI Annual Meeting in Kansas City, October 11-13, 2019.
