IAMSE Silent Auction Outcome

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

As you are 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 IAMSE Travel Award winners were Ivan Sisa and Zainab Zahra. The funds allowed the participents to present their work and at the Scotland meeting.

"The Effect of a Commercial Qbank Use On CBSE Performance: The Experience of a University in Ecuador" Ivan Sisa, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Quito- Ecuador, and Zainab Zahra

"The Effect of Peer Feedback on Small Group Learning in Case Scenario Based Tutorials" Zainab Zahra University of the Punjab Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan

This award 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.
