IAMSE Call for Master Teacher and Master Scholar Nominations

Posted by

Since 2007, IAMSE has honored member medical educators with two prestigious awards, the Master Scholar and Master Teacher awards. We now open the nominations for the 2016 Master awards, which will be presented at the annual meeting in Leiden, The Netherlands, in June.

The Master Scholar Award recognizes an IAMSE member who has a distinguished record of educational scholarship, including educational research and/or dissemination of scholarly approached to teaching and education. This could include development of multimedia medical education programs, research in the areas of curriculum design and evaluation, student assessment, or innovative programs and methods.

The Master Teacher Award honors an IAMSE member who, over the course of many years, has consistently demonstrated extraordinary excellence in teaching, both at his/her institution and within IAMSE. Any teaching can be recognized, but nominations of members who have been active teachers at the annual IAMSE meetings or web seminars are particularly encouraged.

Qualified candidates may self-nominate, or be nominated by an IAMSE colleague.

Details regarding each award, required application materials, and deadlines are found here. All nomination/application packets must be received by Brandi Hinkle (brandi@iamse.org) no later than February 29, 2016.

#IAMSE16 – Luke Mortensen

Posted by

Luke MortensenThis year’s annual meeting has a focus on learning assessment. We will be led in our discussions and deliberations throughout the event with internationally-renowned plenary speakers such as Drs. Cees van der Vleuten, Olle ten Cate, Geoff Norman, and other innovation leaders. The language of assessment takes on a world of terminology and best-practice trendings that enliven our daily academic conversations and research (rubrics, evaluation, generational learning needs, formative/summative, feedback, learning portfolios, entrustable professional activities, competency, judgement, peer-assessment, self-reflection, objective/subjective, TBL, PBL, resilience, etc.) and will prove to be the basis for our meeting’s posters, oral sessions and workshops. Our beautiful venue in Leiden could not be more inviting and conducive to our gathering and to our individual and group exploration of the quaint and historical Dutch surroundings. Please do plan to join us in The Netherlands this June 2016; there will be much to experience both professionally and culturally so bring yourself, your colleagues, and your families!

IAMSE Web Audio Seminar “How to Publish Your Results”

Posted by

How to Publish Your Results
Presenter: Peter de Jong
February 4, 12 PM ET

In publishing scholarly work, there are several opportunities available to present your results to a specific audience. One way of sharing your results is presenting at conferences on medical education. These conferences can be found at a national as well as an international level. The most common types of conference contributions are the oral and poster presentations. Presenting at a conference can be a good and maybe even the most appropriate way to publish your work. Another option is publication in a (scientific) medical education journal. For publishing in a journal, not only the writing skills of the author are important. At least as important is choosing the right strategy in submitting the work to the most appropriate journal. It is also useful to know how the Editorial Office and Editorial Board of a journal handle the manuscripts received. Knowledge of these last two aspects can significantly increase the chances for acceptance of the manuscript. The session will give the attendees more insight in the editorial processes of a journal and several concrete strategies to increase the chances of acceptance of their work. The presenter will showcase the internal procedures of IAMSE’s journal Medical Science Educator to explain the attendees what is happening behind the scenes of a journal. Some general advice will be given in order to make the process of submission as successful as possible. At the end of the session the participants will have a better understanding of ways to publish their results.
