Dear Members of IAMSE,

Although our thoughts are directed toward the 2009 meeting of our Association in Leiden, Netherlands, I would like for you to pause for a moment and consider next year's 2010 Annual Meeting of IAMSE to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

The 2010 Program Committee is already working diligently to prepare this meeting and we would appreciate your input. Through this Call for Topics we invite you to have a hand in developing the content of the meeting. Specifically, we are soliciting topics and themes you think are important to medical science educators. At our annual meeting a variety of sessions is offered, including day long Faculty Development Courses, Plenary Sessions, Focus Sessions and Workshops. We also invite you to suggest new session formats which may be of interest to our meeting.

You can submit your ideas and suggestion (or a complete abstract, if available) directly to the Program Committee by sending an email to Julie@iamse.org. The Program Committee will discuss all submissions and select those that are consistent with the mission of IAMSE. The deadline for submission is May 1, 2009.

By suggestion us new meeting topics you can help the members of the Program Committee to make sure that the meeting is directed toward YOUR needs. I’m looking forward to your input!
