The AAMC is pleased to announce the launch of recurrent virtual Medical Education Research Certificate (MERC) workshops beginning this summer, and thereafter on a quarterly basis. The MERC program is open to individuals that are interested in improving their educational research skills and is primarily targeted for those with a background in medical education, but relatively less experience in educational research. Each three-hour virtual workshop will focus on a key skill or area in educational research and emphasize opportunities for active participation to maximize applicability of workshop principles. Those participating in at least six workshops will receive a MERC certificate. Registration for the virtual MERC workshop series is now open! Participation will be capped at 25 individuals per workshop. The schedule of upcoming virtual MERC workshops is available here.

First Annual IAMSE Virtual Forum: "Health Professions Education Without Borders"

December 2-3, 5-6, 2022 -  The 2022 IAMSE Virtual Forum where we will tear down the borders that separate us and work towards more integrated education opportunities. Borders come in all forms, from geo-political to socio-economic, from online to face to face, and from diversity to experience levels. This forum will feature conversations that showcase the borders but give actional suggestions on how to remove them and build community. Topics include but are not limited to technology-enhanced education, online vs face to face, conflict zone education, diversity equity and inclusion, intercollegiate collaboration, international collaboration, junior and senior educator collaboration, and any other border that prevents us from sharing resources, talents, and helping our students be the best health professional they can be. Learn more.

IAMSE23 Call for Focus Sessions

The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is pleased to announce the call for focus sessions for the 27th Annual IAMSE Conference to be held at the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico June 10-13, 2023. The IAMSE meeting offers opportunities for faculty development and networking, bringing together medical sciences and medical education across the continuum of health care education. The theme of the IAMSE 2023 Meeting is "Teaching & Learning in Health Sciences: Linking Current Theory to Practice." The purpose of a 90-minute Focus Session is to “focus in” on a specific topic in a small group interactive discussion format. Based on previous years, group size might vary between 10-50 individuals. The exact format for the session is free to choose by the session leader(s), as long as not more than one-third of the time is being used for formal presentation, and the rest of the time is used for interaction, active learning in small groups, and discussion. The Program Committee welcomes diversity such as multi-institutional and inter-professional submissions and presenter-teams consisting of junior and senior faculty and students. All abstracts must be submitted in the format requested through the online abstract submission site found here. Due September 1, 2022
