Dear Colleagues,
While the official opening for the 15th Annual IAMSE Meeting begins at 6:30 pm on Saturday, June 18th, there will be plenty of opportunities for professional development during the day!
On Saturday morning there will be 3 day-long faculty development sessions offered:
• Educational Scholarship 101: Taking Your Teaching to Publication
• Comprehensive Curriculum Evaluation Design
• Simulation: Demonstrating the Clinical Relevance of the Basic Sciences
All three of which are eligible to be used towards the IAMSE Medical Educator Fellowship program. Details of this program can be found here - http://iamse.org/fellowship.htm
The Saturday afternoon workshop is opened to all meeting participants:
Developing Examinations for Integrated Courses Using the NBME Customized Assessment Services
Agata P. Butler, NBME
Developing an item pool and examinations for integrated courses can be a challenging task. In order to serve the needs for basic science assessment, the NBME has developed Customized Assessment Services that provides a flexible blueprinting system for faculty members to build integrated examinations from secure NBME item banks. The workshop will be run in an interactive, seminar-style format that provides participants with an opportunity to work in small groups to design blueprints and examinations for various curricular approaches.
For additional details regarding the upcoming meeting or for registration - please visit http://www.iamseconference.org
Don't forget to make your hotel reservations at the official IAMSE Hotel and take advantage of the highly discounted rate!
I am looking forward to seeing you in St. Petersburg!

15th Annual IAMSE Meeting - Essential Skills in Medical Education Course
Essential Skills in Medical Education (ESME) Course
IAMSE Meeting: June 17-21, 2011
The concept of a course covering the essential skills in medical education built around an educational conference including pre- and post-conference workshops has proved popular. Successful courses have now been run since 2005 in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. In collaboration with IAMSE, AMEE is pleased to offer the ESME course at the IAMSE 2011 Meeting in St Petersburg.
With the increasing professionalisation of medical education, the need for teachers in the healthcare professions to have training in teaching is widely recognized. Whilst many institutions worldwide offer Diploma and Masters courses in medical education, there is a lack of accredited basic level courses. The ESME Programme has been designed to meet the need for an entry level teaching qualification. ESME will be of particular interest to teachers who are engaging with medical education for the first time, or who have been given some new responsibilities or assignment relating to teaching. Others are finding the ESME Programme useful as a refresher course or update. The course at the IAMSE Meeting is designed to be specifically relevant to medical science educators.
The ESME Programme is accredited by AMEE and approved by an international Advisory Board. It has been designed around a set of competencies that all practising teachers should possess. These include: Effective Teaching, Skilled Educational Planning and Informed Assessment and Evaluation.

I look forwward to seeing you in St. Petersburg!
