The Membership Committee has been focusing on growing the number of Physician Assistant members. We have been strengthening the relationship with the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA), and recently came to an agreement that PAEA and IAMSE will each host and attend as exhibitors each other’s annual meeting. PAEA and IAMSE have mutually agreed to exchange exhibit booth space at their respective annual meetings at no costs. Remember to take a few minutes to visit the IAMSE member profile website here so that you can update your personal settings if you didn’t get a chance to already. These updates will allow the membership committee to determine what proportion of our membership are nursing educators, physician assistant educators, chiropractic educators, allopathic and osteopathic educators, alternative medicine educators, optometry educators, etc. Thanks for your help, Greg Smith, Chairman, IAMSE Membership Committee

The POPS should serve the needs of IAMSE members who teach pharmacology by providing a pharmacology-focused platform for active learning. The authors have made an effort to make the POPS useful for educating students in various health science professions and for interprofessional education.
