The Multidisciplinary Educators Group (SIG) is seeking to recruit a Deputy Chair and three Committee members to support the running of the group’s activities.
The MEG mission statement is to focus on the development, support and role promotion of medical educators who come from a professional background other than medicine, and to explore and promote their skills and expertise. This SIG fulfils the need to provide a recognised and explicitly badged forum for this diverse range of professionals within ASME.
We are aiming to meet three to four times per year. We would envisage a face-to-face meeting would be arranged around the time of the ASME conferences, ASM in July and RME in November. Other meetings would be held on-line through Zoom or Teams with ongoing informal communication through a Teams channel and email.
Committee Members should hold individual membership of ASME.
