IAMSE Silent Auction Outcome

The IAMSE Development Committee is very pleased to announce that this year's Silent Auction at the IAMSE meeting in Portland was able to infuse $3000.00 into our organization's Annual Conference Scholarship!

As you maybe aware, the funds gathered through the Silent Auction each year are used to support competitive awards to medical education scholars; these awards are directed toward attendance and travel costs at our annual conference.

This year's awardee of the $1000.00 IAMSE Conference Scholarship was Leticia Rojas from Touro University in Nevada (USA). The funds allowed her to present her work "HOW TO ENSURE AN EFFECTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN A MEDICAL INSTITUTION, A MIXED METHOD" at the Portland meeting. This scholarship provides for the ability of IAMSE to wisely invest in the professional promise of our novice medical education scholars and engage them in the mission and goals of our organization.

The committee offers its sincere thanks to all attendees who participated in this year's Silent Auction for their generous contributions to this wonderful program. We especially want to thank our benevolent auction item donors who make this event so successful year after year! We hope that you find these efforts to be a reflection of appropriate good stewardship of IAMSE's finances and that you will continue to support this scholarship program through your kind participation in the future.

Julie Tebo and Peter de Jong, co-chairs
IAMSE Development Committee
