Background

The ASME conference in Maastricht on the History of Medical Education in July 2006 looked at past, present and future trends in medical education, and coincided with the 40th anniversary of the publication of Medical Education. This conference will look at the future of global medical education and Europe's role in this.

Trends to be examined include moves to graduate entry and dual (undergraduate and postgraduate) models; the migration of doctors from within the wider EU; implications of Bologna; underperforming doctors, self and peer assessment; faculty development and accreditation of medical teachers; internationalising the undergraduate curriculum; together with the place of European medical schools in the provision of doctor training.
