The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) is pleased to announce the call for Focus Sessions for their 29th Annual IAMSE Conference to be held at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada June 14-17, 2025. The IAMSE Conference offers opportunities for faculty development and networking, bringing together medical sciences and medical education across the continuum of health sciences education. The theme of the IAMSE 2025 Conference is “Integrating Generations: Are We Ready for the Next 25 Years of Health Professions Education?“
The purpose of a 90-minute Focus Session is to “focus in” on a specific topic in a small group interactive discussion format. Based on previous years, group size might vary between 10-50 individuals. The exact format for the session is selected by the session leader(s), as long as not more than one-third of the time is being used for formal presentation, and the rest of the time is used for interaction, active learning in small groups, and discussion. The Program Committee welcomes diversity, such as multi-institutional and inter-professional submissions and presenter-teams consisting of junior and senior faculty and students.
All abstracts must be submitted in the format requested through the online abstract submission form found here.
Submission Deadline is September 1, 2024.
Abstract acceptance notifications will be returned by November 1, 2024. Please contact support@iamse.org for any questions about your submission.
We hope to see you in Calgary next year!
