Medical Science Educator Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Interprofessional training, social sciences curricula, service-learning, pre-clerkship integration, and self-directed learning are all cornerstones of medical education and closely align with accreditation elements for most accreditation bodies within health professions education. As a sequel to the Winter 2022 series, the Spring 2022 Webcast Audio Seminar (WAS) of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) continued to examine the evolving roles of basic science educators. From March 3 to March 31, 2022, the five-part webinar series was broadcast live to audiences at academic institutions worldwide; recordings are available on the IAMSE website. This series built a framework through which basic scientists can leverage their content to meet various accreditation standards.
