• The role and development of empathy in clinical medicine and medical education
• Clinical handover training and assessment as a patient safety imperative
• Assessment of medical students' developing skills and competencies
• How future doctors learn in the age of AI 
• Development and educational evaluation of innovative and novel methods of teaching and learning 
• Technology enhanced learning in medicine including development of e-learning resources and simulation for core competency development
• The emerging role of Point of Care Ultrasound in the delivery of medical education and basic POCUS competencies for graduating medical doctors
• The educational needs of International Medical Graduates and the design and development of resources to meet these
• Methods of Selection for entry to medicine
• Widening Participation in medicine
