Drs. Helena Prior Filipe, chair of the Simulation-Based Education committee and Mathys Labuschagnev, co-chair, organized a keynote address at the South African Association of Health Educationalists (SAAHE2025). The talk, “Reconstructing Professional Identity in Health Professions Education,” explored themes of re-imagining health professions education for a thriving future. Participants were encouraged to explore how they can intentionally reconstruct an authentic professional identity and be connected to a purpose. Dr. Labuschagnev further presented the paper on our infographics “An illustration is worth ten thousand words: an extraordinary approach to presenting information through infographics.” (Labuschagne, MJ.
