We warmly invite you to join us from 29 June to 2 July 2026 in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand for ANZAHPE 2026 - Weaving Connection.
We gather at a defining moment for health professions education, where deep educational expertise converges with the accelerating power of artificial intelligence, data-driven care, and global connectivity. Healthcare systems worldwide face mounting pressures from workforce shortages, climate-related health impacts, and persistent inequities, demanding bold, collaborative solutions. The choices we make today will not only shape the next generation of health professionals but also determine how we deliver compassionate, culturally responsive, and technologically enabled care for decades to come.
