"New Places, New Opportunities, New Ideas in Medical Education Series"

Dear Colleagues -

Please join us for the upcoming IAMSE Web Seminar Series: "New Places, New Opportunities, New Ideas in Medical Education Series"

The series will begin January 18, 2011

New medical schools are opening their doors every year in response to an increasing demand for medical practitioners and, correspondingly, medical education. Do they avail of this opportunity to do business as usual or to be innovative and do something different? We asked this question of six medical schools whose curricula reflect their unique missions and their responses form the basis of this seminar series. New opportunities in medical education that they speak to include: increased training in medical research skills across all four years of the undergraduate curriculum; a true integration of inter professional training into medical education; a committed focus on professionalism enabled through a program of mentored self assessment and reflection; and, dealing with cultural differences with a transplanted curriculum.
