CUREM Course

AWMD 2013

ASME exhibited at the All Wales Medical

and Dental Conference held in March in

Swansea. With a high concentra�on of

students and a JASME mee�ng our stand

was constantly buzzing with ques�ons on

our conferences and courses and how

best to get your work published—

workshops are being planned to cater for

this need.

CCME 2013

ASME a�ended the Canadian Conference

on Medical Educa�on (CCME) in Quebec

in April. This annual gathering a�racted

students, health educators, researchers

and government representa�ves who

were able to share their thoughts and

experiences within medical educa�on.

Our stand was well received and there

was great interest in our journals—

Medical Educa�on and The Clinical

Teacher.

ASPiH/ SCSN in Edinburgh

ASME were delighted to a�end the joint

ASPiH and Sco;sh Clinical Skills Network

Sco;sh Symposium in Dynamic Earth,

Edinburgh.

ASPiH will also a�end our 2013 Annual

Scien�fic Mee�ng later in the year in

Edinburgh. Our stand was inundated as

we offered our usual array of teaching

tools such as copies of our journals and

our Miller’s Pyramid.

We are in the process of upda�ng our

website in order to make it more user

friendly and to ensure you can easily

navigate the site. We are also looking to

ensure that all areas and

pages of our site are visible

whether you are using an

iPad, tablet or a mobile.

We have an ac�ve

community on Twi�er and Facebook and

are looking to create a members only area

in the coming months which will give you

access to unique areas of our site

including videos and abstract informa�on

from our conferences and events.

Membership Renewals Process

You may have no�ced the Crea�ve

Commons logo on the front page of

this newsle�er. This logo en�tles

you to redistribute this newsle�er as

long as you do not alter it and give

ASME credit.

It is our aim that by the end of 2013,

that the majority of all

documenta�on produced by ASME

will have a Crea�ve Commons logo

making it clear how materials can be

used and shared.

This will ensure that the proper

recogni�on is given to informa�on

we distribute and to ensure that

knowledge is spread. According to

the Crea�ve Commons Organisa�on:

“Crea�ve Commons also works to

minimize legal, technical, and social

barriers to sharing and reuse of

educa�onal materials, with dedicated

projects in this field since star�ng in

2007.”

ASME are adop�ng open academic

prac�ce where appropriate and

inves�ng �me into this system

following our a�endance at the Open

Educa�onal Resources 2013

Conference, which we men�oned in

the March newsle�er.
