Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a strength and asset-based approach to discovery and change. It can be used from the individual to the organizational or community level and everything in between. Speakers will share experiences using AI in a health sciences campus-wide organic initiative to foster a flourishing culture. Participants will explore and practice the concept of reframing, a core principle of AI and finish with idea generation on how reframing as an AI principal can be used in institutions to guide the future direction of dental education.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the concept of appreciative inquiry.
Apply the concept of reframing.
Identify opportunities to use reframing as an appreciative inquiry tool in your dental school.
