*Last Chance* #IAMSE20ASIA in Kuala Lumpur Call for Posters and Orals Due September 15
The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) would like to remind you that abstracts for Oral and Poster presentations are still be accepted for the one-day IAMSE conference in Asia, on February 28, 2020. This conference will focus on “Integration in Medical and Health Science Education” and will take place in the internationally recognized Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The meeting immediately precedes the international Ottawa Conference on assessment, also held in Kuala Lumpur. With the one-day IAMSE conference we specifically reach out to participants from the Asia-Pacific region, but of course, we also welcome participants from other parts of the world to join us. The IAMSE meeting offers opportunities for faculty development and networking, bringing together medical sciences and medical education across the continuum of health care education.
Please click here to submit your abstract today.
Submission deadline is September 15, 2019. There is no limit on the number of abstracts you may submit, but in the case of scheduling conflicts only presentations per presenter might be granted. Abstract acceptance notifications will be returned by November 15, 2019.
#IAMSE20 in Denver Call for Focus Sessions – Due September 1
Time is still available to submit a focus session abstract for the 24th Annual IAMSE Conference to be held at the Hotel Hilton Denver City Center from June 13-16, 2020. The IAMSE meeting offers opportunities for faculty development and networking, bringing together medical sciences and medical education across the continuum of health care education.
The purpose of a 90-minute Focus Session is to “focus in” on a specific topic in a 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 a formal presentation (half of the time if using panel discussion format).
All abstracts must be submitted in the format requested through the online abstract submission site found here.
Submission deadline is September 1, 2019. Abstract acceptance notifications will be returned by November 1.
Please contact support@iamse.org for any questions about your submission.
We hope to see you next year!
Thank you,

Reimagining Faculty Development in Health Professions Education
Faculty development can be defined as the myriad ways in which institutions and organizations support faculty members’ roles in education, research, service, and administration. These faculty development activities can take on a variety of forms and may have a range of goals and objectives. This Fall, the IAMSE webinar series will take a close look at faculty development for educators in the health professions. The five-part webinar series will begin with an introduction to current trends in faculty development for educators and scholars including identifying current challenges and opportunities. The series will then continue by examining specific topics in faculty development in detail. First, we will hear about recruiting, retaining, and developing a diverse faculty, which is crucial in creating and maintaining an inclusive learning environment. The following session will be a how-to webinar on the construction of strong promotion and tenure packets based on the educational mission of one’s institution. Next, two innovative faculty development programs will be presented as case studies in successful faculty development, one sponsored by an institution and another sponsored by a professional society. The series will conclude with a webinar examining strategies for early intervention, specifically how to develop trainees as medical educators. This series will provide participants with not only practical tips for developing their own skills but also insight into how to become engaged with and possibly improve the faculty development culture within their institutions.
