Call for Session Proposals

16th Annual IAMSE Conference

Dear Members of IAMSE,

The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) in its “Call for Topics” has recently requested your thoughts and ideas to guide the design of its annual meeting program. The membership feedback received was of great value to the program committee in the choice of plenary sessions and course offerings.

IAMSE is now pleased to announce the call for Conference Focus Sessions, Workshops and Panel discussions for the 16th Annual IAMSE Conference to be held in Portland, Oregon, USA from June 23-26, 2011. Please contact julie@iamse.org to request the formal proposal submission form. Proposals must be received by the Submission deadline of November 11, 2011.

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 Portland!
