Educational activities and resources
The Academy of Medical Educators is the professional organisation operating nationally and internationally for all those involved in the education and training of students and practitioners in medicine. The term ‘medical educator’ is used to include educational supervisors and trainers of practitioners in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science. The premise on which the Academy operates is that defining and achieving higher standards in teaching of medical educators, educational supervisors and trainers leads directly to higher quality patient care, thus providing public benefit.
The Academy aims to encourage and provide access to high-quality research, information and resources, which reflect the Academy’s Professional Standards, thus enabling all those involved in medical education to increase their knowledge and skills, to contribute from their experience, and to progress the discipline of medical education.
Its Annual Academic Meeting, held since 2008, provides two days of plenary speakers, theme sessions, papers and posters covering medical education. It is open to all medical educators, whether or not members of the Academy. The theme of the 2011 Meeting is 'Patient centredness…the heart of medical education'.

The Academy runs a series of Masterclasses, one-day meetings concentrating on specific issues in educational development, presented by contributors of international standing and including short papers and contributions by participants.
