Why Come?  Here's Why!

A truly outstanding course you cannot ignore - delivered in a wonderful venue. Don't take our word for it - read the words of past participants. Quite an endorsement:

"The educational leadership course was an enjoyable and inspiring week: hard work and intellectually challenging, but a fantastic mix of work and cases of leadership from education, medicine and business; a blend of theory and practice; superb facilitation and a wonderful bunch of delegates from across health care. The course has already changed what I do, and I am likely to do in the future as well as providing friends and contacts. Just brilliant!"
David Pearson, Head of Primary Care Learning and Teaching, University of Leeds

"I participated in the ASME Educational Leadership Course in 2004 as one of three non-U.K. course participants. The course, with a group of people who differed in educational background but all shared an intense interest in improving medical education, made a big and lasting impression on me. For a week we shared our experiences and learned together under the support of a dedicated and experienced staff. In my job as a professor of medical education at the University of Aarhus, Denmark I regularly make use of the course whether it is networking with other course participants or using techniques or knowledge gained at the course."
Berit Eika, Professor of Medical Education, The University of Aarhus, Denmark
