Dear Colleagues,
This year’s ADMSEP Annual Meeting will be June 14-16 at the
Semiahmoo Resort in the wonderfully
temperate coastal Pacific Northwest outside of Blaine, Washington. The
Annual Meeting
presentations take the form of plenary presentations, workshops, discussion
groups and posters.
You are invited to submit proposal abstracts on any topics relevant to
medical student education in psychiatry. As in past years, a "plenary" will
be a group of three to four individual presentations that are in some way
related. Plenary presentations will be a 12-15 minute formal presentations
to the whole group of meeting attendees. Several people can submit for a
plenary they believe would fit well together or the program committee will
try to group individual submissions with similar topics. "Workshops" are
semi-structured learning sessions designed to facilitate interaction and
active learning with a limited didactic element. They are given to smaller
audiences, usually less than 25 participants, and last about 75 minutes.
Depending on the mix of our submissions, we may again have a “Discussion
Group” format concurrent during one of the Workshops sessions where three to
four similar topics will be joined together for a more intimate discussion
of the topics. Poster submissions can be anything from educational research
to descriptions of innovative approaches to medical student education.
The abstract submission application is available online in the “Meetings”
section of our website at
www.admsep.org. Please note that we must have all relevant application
components, including disclosure statements, from all persons in your
presentation by the deadline of Friday, October 7, 2011. Please do
not hesitate to call or
email me if
you have any questions.
As has been the case the last few years, we will have some of our abstracts,
usually from the plenary and poster submissions, published in the journal
Teaching and Learning in Medicine. The journal prefers empiric research
so we are very interested in, though certainly not requiring, submissions
that would include appropriate collection and presentation of data (even if
the data is not available at the time of submission but would be so by the
meeting).
Poster awards will be given for the best of “Research in Medical Education”
and “Innovations in Medical Education”.
ADMSEP was founded over thirty years ago to provide support for psychiatric
faculty responsible for medical student education. Our members, including
psychiatric educators from all years of medical student training, keep in
touch throughout the year via our active listserv discussions and meet
annually to exchange ideas in a supportive, collegial atmosphere. On behalf
of the Council and Membership, thank you, and we hope to see you at
Semiahmoo in 2012!
Warmest Regards,
John and Renate
