Essential Skills in Medical Education (ESME) Course
|
|
4th Asia Pacific Medical Education Conference
(4th APMEC)
Thursday 8-Monday 12 February 2007
|
|
|
Following the successful Essential Skills in Medical Education (ESME) Course held during the 3rd APMEC programme in 2006,
AMEE is pleased to offer a similar course at 4th APMEC. The ESME course is built around pre- and post-conference workshops
and the conference sessions, and has proved very popular.
|
|
| Rationale: |
|
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 practising teachers should possess. These include: Effective Teaching, Skilled Educational Planning
and Informed Assessment and Evaluation.
