Join us at 12:00 PM EST Thursday, March 6, 13, 20, 27, and April 3, 2025 for the IAMSE Spring 2025 Webcast Audio Seminar Series.

Current Challenges and Opportunities for Basic Sciences in Medical Education
As medical education continues to evolve, the role of the basic sciences must be adapted to address the needs of diverse learners, emerging technologies, and dynamic curricular demands. The Spring 2025 IAMSE Webinar Series explores the evolving intersection of the basic sciences with current curricular trends, professional identity development, artificial intelligence, and integration with clinical training.

This five-part series begins by examining how basic science education shapes the professional identity of our students and shares strategies for medical educators to best align their teaching with these findings. It then addresses challenges of increasingly less time being available for basic sciences curricula and how we can ensure students are prepared for exams, clerkships, and lifelong learning. The series also discusses the impact of third-party commercial learning resources, weighing their benefits and limitations. The series further highlights the transformative role of AI in health professions education, offering global perspectives, frameworks, and tools to support integration.

Finally, the series concludes by exploring strategies for better integrating basic sciences into clerkships to meet the needs of the next generation of physicians.

Join us to discover innovative strategies and best practices for advancing basic sciences education in an ever-changing medical education landscape.
