This is part 1 of a 2-part webinar series looking at the challenges health professions education programs face as the higher education landscape changes. In this session, we explore the history of disruptive change in higher education and the disruptive forces currently at play. We provide real-world examples of these disruptive forces in health professions education colleges and provide suggestions to help leaders prepare for the future. In part 2 (fall 2024) we will focus on the changing student population and their needs, challenges, and opportunities.
