Hello ADMSEP Members,

Please join us in Boston, MA from June 19-21, 2025, for an exciting annual meeting!

ADMSEP will be opening the Abstract Submission Portal for the 2025 Annual Meeting on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. The portal will be closed at 11:59pm ET on Thursday, October 31, 2024.

Please note that we will be using a new management platform. Instructions on how to submit your abstracts will be sent on or about October 1st.

We encourage submissions focusing on: • Faculty development • Health disparities, cultural competency, climate change, diversity equity & inclusion, and social determinants of mental health • Curriculum: pre-clerkship courses, clerkship content, electives, active learning, redesign, assessment methods • New and emerging topics in medical student education and technology including the impact of AI • Educational innovations • Current educational hot topics

Submission Guidelines: Only 3 presentations per presenter may be submitted (this does not include posters).

There is a 5 co-author limit on all presentations. Please keep in mind, only people who are participating in the presentation should be included as a co-author.

The ADMSEP Annual Meeting Program Committee will be accepting submissions for:

1. Plenary 1-hour session consisting of a group of three to four individual presentations that are thematically related. Each individual presentation is a 12-15 minute formal talk, given by 1 or 2 individuals. This session is offered to all meeting attendees. Several people can submit abstracts for a plenary session they believe would fit well together; alternatively, the program committee may group individual submissions with similar and related topics.

2. Workshop 75-minute semi-structured learning session designed to facilitate interaction via active learning with a limited didactic element.

3. Discussion Group 75-minute session consisting of 3 or 4 interactive presentations along a similar theme, each 12-15 minutes, along with time for discussion. The program committee may combine several abstracts on a similar topic. Presenters may submit 1 presentation for such a combination, or may coordinate several submissions with other presenters.

4. Brief Oral Presentation: Educational Innovations Adapted from the popular PechaKucha model, this is a 7-minute presentation, using 20 slides for 20 seconds each. This session is designed to provide participants with a lively presentation of innovative approaches to medical student education. Presenters would submit a proposal for a 7-minute presentation. The program committee will then combine several brief oral presentations in succession, followed by time for discussion.

5. Poster Session Submissions can be on a wide range of topics from educational research to descriptions of innovative approaches to medical student education. This year, as in the past, poster awards will be given at the Annual Meeting banquet based on the final poster presentation by a panel of judges.

6. Media Session This is an opportunity to showcase useful online resources for ADMSEP members.

7. Work in Progress 75-minute session consisting of three 15-minute presentations with each presentation followed by 10 minutes of audience feedback and allowing educators a chance to obtain feedback to help refine a paper, teaching method, curriculum, or other project in process.

We look forward to reading your submissions!

ADMSEP Spring Town Hall – Wednesday March 20th, 2024 4p-530p EST - “Where Do We Go from Here? Development and Adoption of the New Foundational Core Competencies for Undergraduate Medical Education.”

Watch it in Members Only

This town hall was on the new AAMC competencies for medical student education. These foundational competencies were developed through a multi-year, four phase, collaborative national effort. Over 1,000 individuals provided input towards the development of the competencies, including those from psychiatry, and a diverse group was convened and charged to draft the new foundational competencies.

Dr. Lisa Howley from the AAMC presented on the new competencies and heard our feedback.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Abstract: The medical education community has been working towards competency-based education for decades. However, much work remains to align undergraduate and graduate medical education and enhance the transition to residency. An initiative led and advised by multiple medical education organizations has recently resulted in new foundational competencies for undergraduate medical education in the U.S. regardless of location or degree type. This interactive session will introduce the new foundational competencies for undergraduate medical education. The multi-year collaborative effort to develop them will be briefly reviewed and the attendees will be invited to ideate strategies to integrate them within their local educational programs.

Link to competencies: https://cloud.email.aamc.org/UME-Competencies-AAMC-AACOM-ACGME

Objectives: 1. Defend the need for a standard set of foundational competencies across UME programs, that align with GME. 2. Describe the foundational UME competencies that align across the continuum, and the process used to develop them. 3. Construct one or more actions towards local adoption of the new foundational competencies

“Where Do We Go from Here? Development and Adoption of the New Foundational Core Competencies for Undergraduate Medical Education.”

Dr. Lisa Howley from the AAMC will present on the new competencies and hear our feedback.

A calendar invitation will be arriving in an email to follow.
