ePosters from AMEE 2013 Prague

Talk given at the close of the 2008 conference in Prague.

Is anyone going to AMEE this year? I was still there in prague when this presentation was given last year. there is another clip on Youtube that shows the Malaga bit better, but really it is a little bit like an advert for a resort. I wonder what function these video clips have. I would rather know about the way the conference will be structured and new ways they might have of working.

" In this AMEE guide we describe historical, discourse and text analysis approaches that can help researchers and educators question the inevitability of things that are currently seen as 'natural'. Why is such questioning important? By articulating our assumptions and interrogating the 'naturalness' of the status quo, one can then begin to ask why things are the way they are."

" The potential stress of medical school and residency training will also be addressed, as will a number of prevention strategies. Identifying learners' problems early - and providing guidance from the outset - can be an important investment in the training and development of future health professionals. It is hoped that this Guide will be of help to clinical teachers, program directors and faculty "

"The clinical teaching and learning environment is an ideal field for using adult learning theories and demonstrating their utility. Reinforcing clear thinking in both teacher and learner and considering them should improve clinical learning, and even clinical outcomes."

The reflective writing of the group collectively demonstrated engagement with themes commensurate with deeper levels of learning: the feelings, assumptions, beliefs and values of clinical practice

"If you are considering developing this approach with and for colleagues for whom you have educational responsibility, it might help to consider the following 12 questions."
