About ANZAHPE

The Australian & New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators (ANZAHPE) is the peak organisation for practitioners involved in the education and training of health professionals in Australia and New Zealand. ANZAHPE (pronounced affectionately as "anza-pee") is comprised of clinicians, academic educators and students, and supports and advances education in the health care professions.

Our Vision

Through excellence in education, health professionals are equipped and supported to provide optimal health care to their communities.

Our Mission

ANZAHPE supports undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education and training through promoting scholarship, research and best practice in health professions education.

Our Values

As a leader for the health professions education community, ANZAHPE will:

Quality:  We strengthen the connection between teaching, scholarship and research by ensuring that educational quality is recognised and rewarded.

Respect:  We nurture positive and respectful relationships across our diverse and inclusive membership. We are committed to health professions education that improves First Nations, Aboriginal, Torres Strait islander, Māori and Pacific people’s health.

Collaboration:  We demonstrate a culture of collaborative learning by nurturing communities of practice for educational excellence and innovation.


ANZAHPE is a truly multidisciplinary organisation, encompassing undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education and training. The Association facilitates communication between educators in the health care professions by providing a network and database of expertise, and collaboration and dissemination through its Journal and newsletter.

ANZAHPE promotes educational research and good practice through seeding grants, awards and conference presentations and through its peer-reviewed journal, Focus on Health Professional Education. The Annual Conference offers a forum for sharing of research, experiences and ideas towards the improvement of health professional education. Our network of education researchers contribute to the international evidence base for health professional education. ANZAHPE is managed by an elected Committee of Management.


The History of the Association

The Australian and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators (ANZAHPE) was formed in 1972 as ANZAME (the Australasian and New Zealand Association for Medical Education) by a small band of medical educators striving to develop medical education as a scientific discipline. These early members were mostly from medical schools and shared the view that teaching should be student-centred, and that "problem solving" should provide the basic philosophical and psychological underpinning of the new medical curricula.

The life of the organisation has paralleled the substantial changes in learning and teaching in health professional education that have occurred in the last 40 years. Since then the membership has expanded to embrace all of the health professions, many of whom have educational sub-specialities.
