AMEE Conference

For the attention of all School of Medicine staff and students:

Glasgow Medical School is delighted to draw your attention to the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) conference which will be returning to Glasgow in September 2015 (5-9th). AMEE is an international organisation promoting excellence in education across the continuum of undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing healthcare professions education. The annual conference attracts around 3,500 delegates from about 100 countries and as the host Institution the Medical School has already set up a local AMEE committee to support this event. It represents a great opportunity to showcase the educational excellence within MVLS.
 
We’d like to encourage you to submit your work for presentation at the conference. You can use the link below to access the conference website, and the deadline for submission is 15 February 2015. Notification of the outcome of abstract acceptance will take place in April and registration for the conference opens in May 2015.
 
As the host institution we are entitled to reduced registration rates for both staff and students:

20 of our undergraduate students will be given the opportunity to volunteer at the conference in return for free registration and a programme of social events. To register your interest in volunteering, please email Billy Dunn (MB5).

We’re grateful to you for your support of this important meeting. Glasgow is a fantastic place to train as a healthcare professional: help us to prove it to the world.
 
Best wishes,
Prof Matthew Walters & Dr Joanne Burke, Co-Chair, AMEE Local Organising Committee
