Academic librarians are often called to teach one-shot and credit-bearing courses but often feel unprepared by the brief instruction they receive from their graduate programs.  Librarians who feel confident as subject experts may feel unsure about who they are as teachers. 
This presentation will go into the notion of teaching personas, including whether or not it’s important to have one and how to develop one that feels authentic.  We’ll discuss tools teachers use to develop a persona and their drawbacks. There will also be the opportunity to share your own journeys to developing as teachers.

The World Federation of Chiropractic supports the involvement of chiropractors in public health initiatives, particularly as it relates to musculoskeletal health. Three topics within public health have been identified that call for a renewed professional focus. These include healthy ageing; opioid misuse; and women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health. The World Federation of Chiropractic aims to enable chiropractors to proactively participate in health promotion and prevention activities in these areas, through information dissemination and coordinated partnerships. Importantly, this work will align the chiropractic profession with the priorities of the World Health Organization. Successful engagement will support the role of chiropractors as valued partners within the broader healthcare system and contribute to the health and wellbeing of the communities they serve.
