Professor Karen Evans was keynote speaker at the 5th International Conference for Research in Medical Education (RIME 2017), 15-18 March 2017, at Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf. Workplace learning in clinical settings – focused on what doctors actually do in real practice – is becoming increasingly important in under-graduate and postgraduate medical education, and in the continuing medical education (CME) and continuing professional development (CPD). The keynote as part of the conference theme, ‘Workplace-Based Teaching, Learning and Assessment in Lifelong Professional Careers’, aimed to contribute fresh thinking about the quality and effects of practice-based teaching in this international forum for medical educators.
