IAMSE Medical Educator Fellowship

The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is pleased to offer the Medical Educator Fellowship. Through targeted professional development in key aspects of medial education, the goal of this program is to develop well-rounded medical education scholars with additional evidence of specialized achievement that enhances and supports career advancement.

Program Description:
The program encourages proficiency in five content areas - curriculum design, teaching methods and strategies, assessment, educational scholarship, and leadership - that can be attained in three phases:

Phase 1: Completion of an AMEE ESME Program. 

Phase 2: Completion of two, day-long faculty development courses. One of the courses must be completed at an annual IAMSE meeting. The second may be completed either at an annual IAMSE, AMEE or Ottawa meeting. 

Phase 3: Completion of a required project, resulting in educational scholarship, which demonstrates application of content themes at the participant's home institution. Participants will be expected to submit a project proposal prior to the Annual Meeting. 

Who Should Participate:
The program is designed for medical science educators who have completed an ESME program, and are seeking to become more knowledgeable as educators and leaders. Participants will complete a project portfolio that demonstrates how they applied program content areas at their home institutions.

Detailed information on the Fellowship is available on the IAMSE website at http://iamse.org/

Application Requirements:
Applications to the Fellowship must be submitted by the IAMSE Annual Meeting Early Registration deadline via the Annual Meeting Registration Form. The Fellowship fee of $550 USD includes the 3-hour conference workshop modules and materials. Payment is due in full by the meeting's Early Registration deadline.
