The Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME)

The Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) is a membership organization dedicated to improving the quality of medical education by bringing together individuals and organisations with interests and responsibilities in medical and healthcare education. Their goals are to:

• Promote high quality research into medical education
• Provide opportunities for developing medical educators
• Disseminate good evidence based educational practice
• Inform and advise Governmental and other organisations on medical educational matters
• Develop relationships with other organisations and groupings in healthcare education

ASME holds an annual three day Scientific Meeting, around 5 to 6 day meetings on topics of interest in medical and healthcare education and also runs introductory and more advanced courses on healthcare education research and educational leadership. 
 

ASME in conjunction with Blackwell Publishing publishes the leading science education journal Medical Education, and has recently launched The Clinical Teacher. 
 

ASME also publishes a series of booklets on medical education topics and these are currently under revision with the aim to produce accessible guides for new students of healthcare education at Masters degree level. 
 

ASME also supports a thriving junior branch (JASME).  You can learn more about us at their website: http://www.asme.org.uk
