Call for Conference Sessions - 15th Annual IAMSE Conference

Call for Conference Sessions
15th Annual IAMSE Conference
“Building Healthcare Professionals in a Medical Science Curriculum”

Dear Collegues

The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is pleased to announce the call for Conference Focus Sessions and Conference Workshops for the 15th Annual IAMSE Conference to be held in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA from June 18-21, 2011.  All proposals must be submitted in the format requested in the attached proposal submission forms.  Please take care to use the proper form as both workshop and focus session forms are attached to this email. Submission deadline is October 30, 2010. Please submit to julie@iamse.org

Concurrent Focus Session: The purpose of a 90-minute Concurrent Focus Session is to “focus in” on a specific topic in small group discussion format. The goal is for groups of 10-50 individuals to discuss and exchange ideas on a particular topic of general interest and relevance to medical sciences education, with the aim of providing a focused, complete, interactive and competence-building learning experience. Methods can be variable but should be interactive.

Conference Workshops: The purpose of a 3-hour Conference Workshop is to delve into a topic of general interest and relevance to medical sciences education and/or to develop a skill in greater depth than would be permitted in a Focus Session.  These sessions of 10-50 participants will be held concurrently with focus sessions and other workshops.  Methods can be variable but should be interactive.

This conference will explore issues in the teaching and learning of sciences fundamental to practice in all health professions. The IAMSE annual meeting provides medical science educators a place to meet colleagues from around the world and to receive an intense faculty development experience.

Looking forward to seeing you in St. Petersburg!

IAMSE 2010 - Preparing Faculty for the Millennial Generation

Plenary - “Preparing Faculty for the Millennial Generation”

Does this sound familiar? Only weeks into their first year of medical school, our students are doing what comes naturally – setting up their own freewheeling blog about their courses, rating their professors online, Twittering about their lectures and lecturers, and sharing proprietary online course content with friends across the globe. Meanwhile faculty are worried that their PowerPoint slides will be stolen off the school’s curriculum website, while at the same time attendance at lectures is falling to less than one-third of the class.

The Millennial Generation or those born beginning in the eighties, grew up with the web and are armored with free and easy-to-use personal social networking technologies. They bring both new expectations and new risks to school. Rather than stifle students' creative use of social media and networking and scare away faculty, there are ways to use web technology safely and effectively. Already there are examples of faculty using blogs, wikis, and adaptive virtual patients to extend and replace traditional methods. Just as Web 2.0 tools like YouTube and Facebook enable millennials to share self-generated content and create their own online experiences, these new technologies can be leveraged to make learning more participatory and individualized. What some may see as a threat to the status quo can be a catalyst for a learner-centric curricular change.


This session, which will be presented by J.B. McGee of the University of Pittsburgh, is just one of the many topics to be addressed at the upcoming IAMSE Meeting in New Orleans July 10-13, 2010.

Early Bird Registration ends May 15th!
