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.
