IAMSE 2017 Call for Volunteers
Dear IAMSE Members,
The time has come to begin planning the 2017 Annual IAMSE Meeting! The first step in the process is to form the Program and Review Committees.
We are seeking a broad representation of professional educators, basic scientists, clinical scientists, and instructional technologists from around the world. The role of the Program Committee is to establish a theme and schedule for the program, select and invite pertinent speakers, and collaborate on various tasks as needed in order to provide the membership with an outstanding annual meeting. The Review Committee, which will work with the Program Committee, will oversee the abstract review and selection process. Your availability for a one-hour monthly phone meeting and ready accessibility by email from January 2016 through the program in July 2017 is expected, in addition to great ideas and a collegial spirit! The names of participating members will be credited in the conference program.
If you would like to be considered for a position on this Committee please send a brief statement of your interest and qualifications to brandi@iamse.org by October 15. We would like to complete selections by December 1 so we begin our meetings by phone in January 2016.

IAMSE 2016 Updated Call for Focus Session Proposals
The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is pleased to announce the "Call for Focus Sessions" for the 20th Annual IAMSE Meeting to be held in Leiden, The Netherlands from June 4-7, 2016. The IAMSE meeting offers opportunities for faculty development and networking, bringing together medical sciences and medical education across the continuum of health care education.
Definition of a Focus Session: The purpose of a 90-minute Focus Session is to “focus in” on a specific topic in small group discussion format. Groups of 10-50 individuals consider a particular topic in an interactive format. 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 in a paradigm of professional development is the goal, so not more than one-third of the time is to be used for formal presentation (half of the time if using panel discussion format).
Proposals are to be submitted in the format requested through the online proposal submission site. Submission deadline is October 10, 2015. Session proposal acceptance notifications will be returned by December 1st.
Please note that the call for Poster/Oral Abstracts will be sent in mid-October. Please contact Brandi Hinkle Brandi@iamse.org for any question about this call.

IAMSE Web Seminar: "Educating Medical Students in a Clinical Environment Throughout the Entire Curriculum"
Educating Medical Students in a Clinical Environment Throughout the Entire Curriculum
Presenter: Brenda Rogers, MD, FAAP, FACP
October 8, 12 PM ET
Innovative approaches to medical student education in the US have recently been discussed again as the cost of higher education and medical school continue to increase. Creative options have been proposed, including elimination of clinical experiences, requiring historical medical school coursework to be completed in the undergraduate years and shortening the duration of medical school, among others. In this webinar, information about a six year combined Baccalaureate/MD program will be provided. In this program, students are admitted directly from high school and immediately begin integrated undergraduate and medical school coursework. Similar to medical schooling in other countries, this program has over 40 years’ experience educating students in the heart of the US. With over 3000 graduates, the program has alumni who are instrumental in many aspects of medicine, achieve great success and hold remarkable leadership positions throughout the United States.

IAMSE Web Seminar: "An Accelerated Pathway to Produce 21st Century Primary Care Physicians"
An Accelerated Pathway to Produce 21st Century Primary Care Physicians
Presenters: Tonya Fancher, MD, MPH and Mark Henderson, MD, FACP
October 1, 12 PM ET
There are concerns that the current medical education structure and processes are inefficient and do not adequately prepare our students to function in our evolving healthcare systems. New educational models significantly modify the historic 2 + 2 time-based framework of UME. However, challenges will arise in implementing these new models. What will the impact be on accreditation processes, student selection for and matriculation into residency, and eligibility for licensure and board certification? The panelists will discuss the current controversies that arise in relation to the transformation of the educational program and provide an update on the Accelerated Competency-based Education in Primary Care (ACE-PC) at the University of California, Davis - a 6 year UME-GME pathway for students interested in primary care careers.
