Welcome Message

The Medical School of University of Porto is honoured to host the 2000 Conference of the Association of Medical Schools in Europe, in Porto, Portugal, September 3-5, 2000. In 2000, we are celebrating the 175th Anniversary of the Medical School of Porto and this meeting will be one of the most important celebrating events occurring throughout the year.

We will be very pleased if you consider to attend the meeting, bringing your experience and research interests in Medical Education. We are sending you the second announcement of the Conference with the registration, abstract and accommodation forms, to stimulate you to attend an exciting scientific program with important and up-dated topics in Medical Education. We welcome your participation!

We can advance that the main sessions of the program, will focus: the profile of the undergraduate when leaving the Medical School and how to evaluate it, the transfer of knowledge from University research to practical use, results and experiences of the EU programmes on exchange of students and teachers. We believe that the AMSE 2000 in Porto will be an inspiration for further work and a few days pleasantly spent among colleagues and friends. We are looking forward to meeting you in Porto.

The Conference will take place at the city of Porto which has a unique charm, easily traced as the romantic old historic centre, awarded UNESCO World Heritage in 1996. We hope that you take this opportunity to join us in AMSE’2000 to present your experience and research and that your stay will be most instructive and pleasant.

Looking forward to welcome you in Porto,

Yours sincerely,

M. Miranda Magalhães
Dean of the Medical School of Porto
