ESSENTIAL SKILLS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION (ESME) COURSE
Held in conjunction with 3rd Asia Pacific Medical Education (APMEC) Conference
18-22 February 2006 |
|
| REGISTRATIONS CLOSED. |
| |
Following the successful Essential Skills in Medical Education (ESME) Course associated with the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) 2005 Amsterdam conference, an ESME Course will be included in the 3rd APMEC programme. The concept of a course built around pre- and post-conference workshops and the conference sessions has been greatly appreciated and proved popular.
With the increasing professionalisation of medical education, the need for doctors and other healthcare professionals to have training in teaching is widely recognized. Whilst many institutions worldwide offer Diploma and Masters courses in medical education, there is a lack of accredited basic level courses. The ESME Programme has been designed to meet the need for an entry level teaching qualification. ESME will be of particular interest to teachers who are engaging with medical education for the first time, or who have been given some new responsibilities or assignment relating to teaching. It has been designed in the context that all doctors in any branch of medicine or field of practice are likely to have some teaching responsibilities for undergraduates, postgraduates, peers, other healthcare workers or patients.
The ESME Programme is accredited by AMEE and approved by an international Advisory Board. It has been designed around a set of competencies that all practicing teachers should possess. These include: Effective Teaching, Skilled Educational Planning and Informed Assessment and Evaluation.
