Medical Education Interest Group
The Medical Education Interest Group was formed in November 2006 following a research presentation forum held at UNSW.
The group aims to bring together medical faculty staff interested in education issues to support scholarly practice, encourage research and create new networks amongst its members.
Its main activities are a monthly seminar series, monthly newsletter and twice yearly research forum.
Scheduled Meetings and Seminar series
The Medical Education Interest Group will be hosting a monthly seminar series in 2008 with two forums per year for presentation of your medical education research.
