Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Medical Education Convention / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

We analyzed the achievements of annual meetings of Japan Society for Medical Education (JSME) over the past 10 years. JSME is the biggest community in the field of medical education from the perspective of both social science and medicine. To develop the organization further, we argue that it should follow a line of inquiry that will advance science in the field as well as provide information on cutting edge faculty development within the context of Japanese medical education. To achieve this goal and facilitate continuity, we propose JSME develop a program committee for its annual meeting. We hope the meeting will provide a community of practice in which healthcare workers and researchers in the field of medical education can communicate and collaborate through the discussion of theories and practices.
