Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
Since I thought there was no need to any follow up action that you should take, I was going to say no to this particular question. But, then, I found out there should be at least 50 words with three hundred characters in the text, otherwise the software would not accept it. So my answer is simply NO. |
|
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Since AMEE conferences are held in European countries annually, and a Schengen visa is required, I recommend the volunteers to apply for the visa as soon as possible. The first step, after getting the acceptance letter, should be sending an email to the conference and request an invitation letter. |
|
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
In AMEE conferences about 20 to 30 sessions, including plenaries, workshops, poster and research papars, short communications, etc. are held simultaneously. While it provides wide list of options for participants with different interests and expertise, selecting appropriate sessions can be challenging. It was interesting that a conference Application, containing the full program, was introduced, which could be used by laptops, tablets or smartphones. The App prepared a schedule and even reminded the events to the user.
The course I took this year was entitled "PASREV". It was on developing educational systematic reviews and presented useful information and provided opportunities and ideas for research and practice, which I am going to use and develop. |
