Medical Education Conference 2013

Transitions in Medical Education and Training

2013’s conference programme was built on the success of previous, very popular events. The theme was Transitions in Medical Education and Training and for this reason we organised our two annual conferences to run on consecutive days.

Medical Education Conference highlights

We were very fortunate to have a number of inspirational national and international speakers including Prof Sir John Tooke, Dr David Hirsh from Harvard Medical School, Prof Trudie Roberts from Leeds, Dr Vicky Tallentire from Edinburgh, Prof Christine Jorm from Sydney and Dr Anita Berlin (UCL).

There were also a host of interactive workshops including two aimed at supporting medical educators formally credentialing their teaching.
