Call for Proposals to Host the IAMSE Meeting
Dear Members of IAMSE,
Each year IAMSE organizes its Annual Meeting on Medical Education and Professional Development, one of its kind in the international scene of Medical Education. Participants from over 30 different countries will be visiting the meeting.
For the 2016 meeting, the IAMSE Site Selection Committee is investigating possible sites to organize the meeting. At this point, we would like to invite all IAMSE members to consider their own institution to be a possible host for the meeting. Hosting the meeting gives many advantages in establishing new connections with colleagues from other medical schools. And it also offers the host institution to show its own successes and facilities to others.
The Site Selection Committee strongly prefers IAMSE Annual Meetings to be connected with an institution in the field of medical education. Therefore your help and suggestions are invaluable!
Please consider your own institution as possible host for 2016 and discuss this with your own faculty members. More details can be found in the attached document. If you seriously consider hosting, please send us a motivated letter of intention before November 30, 2013. We do not need a full proposal yet. As soon as the Board of Directors of IAMSE has judged all letters of intention, a limited number of institutions will be asked to send in a full proposal.
Letters of intention can be send to Julie Hewett at julie@iamse.org
Please consider our offer and help IAMSE to continue the organization of the Annual Meetings in the future!

Registration is Now Open - Fall IAMSE Web Seminar "Times are Changing: Evolution & Revolution in Medical Education"
Times are Changing: Evolution and Revolution in Medical Education: 2013 Edition Developing Teaching Tools and Measuring Learning Progress in New Ways
Learning in context, clinical decision making, self-directed learning, asynchronous teaching, etc., etc. We've heard the buzz words of new approaches to clinically-oriented teaching and testing, but how do we as instructors learn to apply these skills? This webcast series will provide how-to sessions on some of these approaches. Developing focused clinical cases for teaching may not be intuitive for non-clinicians or clinicians. Our first session will introduce and illustrate how basic and clinical principles of disease and treatment can be constructed into clinical cases for lectures, PBL /TBL sessions and NBME-style exam questions.
There are defined principles and useful resources to employ, and pitfalls to avoid, that will help us all with this skill. How about testing? Are we confident that students can retain and apply knowledge and skills in an increasingly sophisticated manner? A subsequent session will discuss progress testing in which repeated measures of standards can document student progress and highlight remaining deficiencies over time. Script concordance is another new approach by which students must make value judgments of clinical data and apply new information to the next decision step. This approach helps mold and measure the everyday decision pathway that clinicians must travel.
Finally, there are new approaches to teaching and learning that are more difficult to monitor and measure. Curricula are mandated to have active and independent learning time. What does this really mean? Is it "efficient"? Our last two sessions will focus on independent learning. We will discuss effective use, pros and cons, and best approaches to using learning time as well as the use of social media in teaching. This final presentation of the series will explore roles, ethics, age differences, documentation, and effectiveness as challenges and opportunities with this approach to medical education.

Dear Colleagues,
The Annual Program Committee is very pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 17th Annual IAMSE meeting to be held at the University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews Scotland on June 8-11, 2013.
This year's meeting will offer over 60 focus sessions and workshops as well as numerous oral and poster presentations. Over 250 abstracts have been submitted for review for presentation, thus making this the largest IAMSE meeting on record. In addition to the regular conference schedule several pre-conference workshops will be offered including a full day on Technology and Media in Heath Science Education.
The Planning Committee has worked very hard to negotiate a very reasonable pricing structure for this meeting. By using the university housing offered by St. Andrews instead of local hotels, we are able to provide attendees with accommodations at highly reduced rates. Complete details regarding registration and housing options can be found on the conference webpage at http://www.iamseconference.org.
Make sure to check out the additional spousal tours and Grand Extravaganza also listed on the conference website. Please note that we will be updating the website with information regarding airport transfers shortly.

Spring 2013 WAS Series - Best Practices for Technology Applications in Health Professions Education
Best Practices for Technology Applications in Health Professions Education
Technology is an increasingly valuable tool in the medical educator toolbox. Educational technology tools now provide educators with means of tracking and exchanging curricular content, tracing learner activities and profiles, and new ways of connecting learners and educators. The 2013 spring series explores mature implementations of technology solutions and focuses on curriculum management, online learning, and assessment.
An effective curriculum management tool allows institutions to manage, map, and demonstrate the relationship between educational content, competencies, goals, objectives, and outcomes. It can assist faculty in program improvement and compliance with accreditation standards by identifying learning opportunities and curricular deficiencies. The first two sessions will examine two institutions' solutions for curriculum management.
The subsequent three sessions will provide an insight into the creative thinking behind the International Virtual Medical School project (IVIMEDS) and its evolution, and look at other tools for developing effective online learning modules and resources (MedEd Portal, HEAL, and Merlot), the theoretical framework supporting their use, and a review of their impact on students.
