12th APMEC










Co-ordinating a continuous, longitudinal, and strong research thread for the 12th APMEC 2015 program.

Taking full advantage of the possibilities of pre-conference workshops/meetings; intra-conference plenary session(s)/symposia/presentations/meetings; and post conference workshops/meetings.

This research thread should not only cater to advanced educational scholars (post doc, Phd and Masters candidates and their supervisors/potential supervisors), support for and opportunities to guide and inspire budding educational scholars should also be provided (at several levels, medical student, resident, clinician, lecturer; both medical and allied health groups).

While recognising that the 12th APMEC is not a pure medical education research meeting (see example of the 3rd Rogano meeting below); and also recognising the time and logistical constraints; we will not be too restrictive in our initial thinking or discussions; but aim initially to plan a more ambitious program and agenda; with some "out of the box" ideas; before bringing this back for comments and feedback.




RESME


Pre-conference workshop

Plenary (Research in Medical Education)

Breakfast meeting

Main conference symposium (Med Ed Research) 90 min session

Professor Lambert Schuwirth
Title: One question: at least 6 different answers: and all correct (30 min)

Abstract

Medical education research is one of the broader research domains. Not only is there a myriad of domains and topics to be explored, such as admissions/selections, assessment, curriculum development, educational change management, programme evaluation, learning environments, staff development, and many others, but also a large variety of scientific approaches can be adopted. In this presentation I will explore the same research question from different epistemological/ontological angles, from qualitative and quantitative perspectives and from a fundamental and justification study type to illustrate the choices research can and will have to make when designing their research.


Associate Professor Goh Poh Sun
Title: Practice based educational research through the lens of a clinician educator (30 min)

Abstract

A clinician educator is faced with several challenges, but also many opportunities when considering which area of their educational practice to evaluate and investigate further. There are many research perspectives, educational practice questions, and research methods that could be chosen. I will present one clinician's educational journey, over the last 13 years, starting with small pilot projects, systematically presenting this at regional and international conferences for feedback, and iterative improvement; leading to an educational Masters program, and subsequently through refinement and deepening of understanding and insight into clinical and educational practice into a program of practice based research, focused on the use technology enhanced learning or (e)Learning to support deliberate practice for mastery training in clinical radiology, from undergraduate, through postgraduate to the lifelong learning continuum, using an indexed hyperlinked digital teaching case repository.

Dr Goh is a clinician educator who currently devotes 80% of his time to clinical practice and postgraduate training; and 20% of time to educational research. This has been supplemented over the last three years by daily two to three hour early morning sessions focused on creating, curating and sharing (anonymised) case based educational teaching resources on a variety of digital and mobile learning platforms, from a digital repository currently containing over 5000 digital teaching and learning objects. 25/21/13: years of experience as a clinical radiologist/educator/technology enhanced learning practitioner.

"Passions - Technology enhanced learning, Education, Radiology. Technology as a tool, platform and enabler to support and augment face to face customised teaching and learning; with educational principles as the foundation; and radiology as my academic and clinical focus."

11th APMEC: Welcome address, Opening Ceremony 11th APMEC, Friday, January 17, 2014

Distinguished Speakers, Delegates, Colleagues and Friends,


Good morning and welcome to the 11th APMEC.


This is a very nostalgic moment for me, as I began my journey as a "hard-core" medical educator 11 years ago in 2003, at the first APMEC meeting, by presenting my first medical education conference short communication on a pilot project in technology enhanced learning in undergraduate medical education. This was followed by attendance, paper, poster and symposia presentations at subsequent APMEC meetings every year, and later as a member of the organising and working committees of APMEC.


The APMEC meeting has grown greatly over the last 11 years,




and has become a regular forum for passionate and committed health profession educators to meet, exchange ideas, and form collaborations; which is the theme of this year's conference - "Optimising collaboration in medical education: Building bridges, connecting minds".


I thank my team members at the MEU, YLL SOM for their hard work and commitment to the APMEC meeting; my many colleagues at NUHS, and the other teaching hospitals for working with us; and our many international colleagues, and friends for helping make the APMEC not only a success, but continue to grow every year.


May I wish all of you a very successful APMEC meeting.
