What is an IAMSE Meeting?
What is an IAMSE Meeting?
The annual meeting for the International Association for Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is different than other meetings you attend as it focuses on YOU the educator! This is not just another education meeting; it is a meeting where you as an educator can network with colleagues from around the world who share your passions, concerns and ideas.
While attending the IAMSE meeting you might experience:
Mark your calendar now for June 23-26, 2012!

The annual meeting for the International Association for Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is different than other meetings you attend as it focuses on YOU the educator! This is not just another education meeting; it is a meeting where you as an educator can network with colleagues from around the world who share your passions, concerns and ideas.
While attending the IAMSE meeting you might experience:
- A Focus Session - a 60 or 90-minute session that is intended to “focus in” on a specific topic in small group discussion format. Groups of 10-50 individuals consider a particular topic with the aim of reaching consensus or general recommendation. Formats can be variable. For instance, the Session Leader may arrange for the pros and cons of a particular issue to be presented by a mini-panel discussion. Alternately, the group may be subdivided and certain tasks assigned to be developed for summary during the last 20-minutes of the session. Discussion and consensus/resolution is the goal, so not more than one-third of the time is to be used for formal presentation.
- A Workshop - workshops are sessions less than three (3) hours in length with mainly “hands-on” opportunities for participants.
- An Oral Presentation - Authors of submitted poster abstracts can be invited to present their research in an oral presentation, or presenters can be invited directly by the Program Committee. Oral presentations are 15 or 20 minutes in duration including 5 minutes for discussion with the audience.
- Poster Sessions
- Plenary Talks
- Panel Discussions
- Roundtable Discussions
- Opportunities to network with colleagues
- A gala dinner (included with registration!)
Mark your calendar now for June 23-26, 2012!
As a reminder! The Call For Abstracts will open in November, watch your email for details.
