"Excellence in Medical Education - Quality in Healthcare"
The theme for our 7th APMEC is Excellence in Medical Education, Quality in Healthcare - Trends, Issues, Priorities, Strategies (TIPS). One of the major challenges facing educators involved in training medical and health care professionals is to get the trainees to translate their learning into day to day professional practice. The conference focus is to share and learn from the experience and best practices followed internationally.

‘Overcoming BARRIERS, RE(E)Forming professional practice'
2010 marks the 100 Year anniversary of the release of the Flexner Report into medical education. This conference will consider the journey that health professional education has undertaken in responding to emerging ‘best practice' and will seek to help chart a course forward to continue overcoming the barriers that impinge upon the ability of health professional education to ‘transmit knowledge, to impart skills, and to inculcate the values of the profession'. This conference challenges us to identify barriers and opportunities impacting upon health professional education; and to respond to these with dynamic, progressive professional practice.
