AUC Leaders Present Topics in Medical Education at AMEE Conference

The Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) is a worldwide organization promoting international excellence in education in the medical and healthcare professions.


This week, several AUC administrative leaders, faculty, and students led presentations on different topics in medical education at the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) Annual Conference, taking place in Basel, Switzerland. The conference brings together more than 3,200 medical and healthcare education professionals to take part in workshops and courses, discuss innovative concepts in the field and network with others. 

AUC colleagues had 10 posters and presentations accepted to the conference, with topics ranging from learning strategies and curriculum development to clinical training in a global setting and continuing academic programs during a time of crisis. In addition, Dr. Mark Quirk, Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education, served as a guest editor for a special issue of AMEE’s academic journal, Medical Teacher. The issue focused on adaptive learning and included articles by three members of our faculty as well as two AUC students, Aaron Brown and Emeka Ajufo.

    AUC is accredited through 2021 by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM, www.accredmed.org), which is the accreditor used by the country of St. Maarten. The United States Department of Education, via the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA), reviews the standards that countries use to accredit medical schools. The NCFMEA has determined that the ACCM’s accreditation standards are comparable to those set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which accredits medical education programs in the United States.
