Abstract

In this paper, we argue that Australian & New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators (ANZAHPE) is a nurturing organisation and envision what cultivating this means for its future. We use communities of practice and social learning to examine ANZAHPE’s evolution as a nurturing association. We describe two ANZAHPE innovations, the unique conference presentation format called the “personally arranged learning session”, or “PeArLS”, and a new professional development program called “ANZAHPE Online”. We then reflect on how these function as nurturing structures in which members embody ANZAHPE’s philosophy of community learning. From these examples, we draw out future directions for the association.
