Dear
ADMSEP Members and Friends:
The 28th Annual ADMSEP meeting will take
place from Thursday, June 13 through Saturday, June 15, 2002 at the Sonesta
Beach Resort, Key Biscayne, Florida. We have applied for 9.75 hours of CME
through the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
At this year’s meeting we will have a very exciting and stimulating educational program. The agenda is well balanced in terms of different types of learning environments; we will have Plenary, Workshop, and Poster Sessions on a variety of timely and useful topics. We will also be able to gather for formal and informal educational discussions and share our valuable experiences. This opportunity to learn from each other in such a beautiful setting is not to be missed. Rekindling old friendships and making new friends is one of the high points of every ADMSEP meeting. The Key Biscayne resort offers a tropical setting, yet is close to South Beach and downtown Miami. Our hotel accommodations are luxurious and elegant (yet affordable).
Here are some of the highlights of the meeting:
Plenary Sessions will focus on several key issues: updates on
policy and education issues, our student’s attitudes about psychiatry as a
specialty, educator’s responses after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, educational
innovations, and career choice issues.
Workshops will focus on using technology as an educational
resource, the stress our students experience and how to respond, clerkship
director issues, self-awareness concepts applied to our students, what new
federal regulations (HIPPA) will mean to medical education, new course
development, and last but not least, how to win a teaching award!
Special Interest Groups discussion of topics of
importance to the membership, such as, monitoring psychiatry departments
“report cards” related to medical education.
Poster Sessions will highlight the latest educational
research and will feature innovative teaching approaches.
We want to encourage you to bring examples of your
teaching strategies and materials to share with others at the meeting.
The Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne is a premium hotel with ocean or island/bay views throughout. It is a 20-minute drive from downtown Miami, the South Beach area, and the Miami International Airport. Taxi fare from the airport to the hotel is estimated at $32. This is a full service resort with spa facilities, shopping on site, tennis and many water sport activities. The Crandon Park Golf Course is located 2 miles from the hotel. South Beach activities include the Miami Seaquarium and the famous Art Deco District. Deep Sea fishing charters are available, one mile from the resort. Please note, as this is a premium hotel the food costs are higher than in past years. We have offered 2 options for guest meals to try to be more accommodating (see registration form).
