JASME is the Junior Association for the Study of Medical Education. It grew out of and is still a subgroup of ASME (the Association for the Study of Medical Education).
JASME is a Special Interest Group (SIG) run by juniors (medical students and doctors in training grades) primarily for juniors interested in medical education. It consists of a committee of passionate people from a variety of geographical areas and backgrounds.

Membership to ASME is open to all medical students and junior doctors at a reduced rate. Find out more about joining now!

The JASME committee will be attending the conference and organising workshops and social events for students and foundation doctors, including:
