Pre-Conference Symposium on Outcome-Based Curriculum : Global Perspective
Dear Colleagues
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, 4th APMEC, I would like to invite you to a special pre-conference symposium on "Outcomes Based Curriculum: A Global Perspective" on Friday 9 February 2007 from 6pm to 9pm at NUS. Although there is a great interest in scientific approach to curriculum development, there are few opportunities when medical educators can learn from the experiences of others. Medical educators and curriculum planners would like to get concrete examples of the curriculum development process and organization from different medical schools around the world.
The discussion during this special symposium will revolve around two parallel themes: a) the practical process of developing an outcomes-based curriculum, and b) the structure and organization of different curriculum models. Through this sharing session and free-flow of ideas, we hope to identify some shared factors in curriculum development and implementation, such as drivers for change, processes undertaken, challenges faced, leadership attributes, and evaluation methods that can be further refined, improved, and implemented in our own context.
Four medical schools across three continents will share their version of curriculum development and provide "insights from the inside."
The fee for registration is minimal, US$20 and is based primarily on a cost-recovery basis. The fee includes dinner and transport back to the designated conference hotel, The Gallery Hotel.
Tentative Speakers and Medical Schools:
Margery Davis, Dundee Medical School, UK
Wojciech Pawlina, Mayo Medical School, USA
Rukhsana Zuberi, Aga Khan University, Pakistan
Zubair Amin, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore
We look forward to welcoming you to the Pre-Conference Symposium and to the 4th APMEC !
With best wishes
Dr Zubair Amin
Deputy Head, Medical Education Unit
Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine
