their needs to inform curricular change. With this in mind, IAMSE held its first student plenary featuring students studying medicine and dentistry in the Netherlands and the USA. The title of the session was Student Voices: Envisioning the Future of Health Sciences Education Across Different Healthcare Professions Worldwide. The goal of the session was to engage meeting participants in a discussion of how best to prepare students for the healthcare environments of the future. Each presenter gave a 10-min presentation outlining their thoughts about the future of health profession education. An audience question and answer session followed the presentations. The student presentations are summarized below.
