2026 ACSME theme: Innovating Teaching to Equip Impact-Driven Graduates

How do we redesign curricula, assessments and partnerships so graduates are ready to create measurable benefit? Which teaching innovations cultivate the mindsets, skills and ethical compass needed to turn insight into impact?

As we move through a period defined by disruption and possibility, we will examine our responsibilities as STEM educators, to our students, our communities and the planet. What evidence shows these approaches work, and for whom? How might we scale what matters, phase out what does not, and build inclusive, authentic learning that connects classrooms with real-world change?

We look forward to testing ideas, sharing practice and charting pathways that equip graduates to tackle the challenges that matter most at ACSME 2026.
