Professor Barry F. A. Quinn of the University of Liverpool, School of Dentistry delivered the Calman Lecture on 14 December 2022 at the Academy of Medical Educators (AoME).
The prestigious annual Calman Lecture is given in honour of Sir Kenneth Calman HonFAcadMEd, one of the founders of AoME.
As a tribute to Sir Ken's own enormous involvement, leadership and contribution to teaching, learning and the organisation of medical training, the general theme for the Calman Lectures is reflections on the education of doctors. Professor Quinn is the first dentist to be given the honour to present the Calman Lecture; past recipients have included Sir Peter Rubin, Past Chair of the General Medical Council and Professor Cees van der Vleuten, a Professor of Education in The Netherlands.
The title of Professor Quinn's lecture was 'Haptically enabled virtual reality simulation: is this the future for surgical skills training?'
