FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are honored to host the 1999
Conference of the Association of Medical Schools in Europe, in
Jerusalem, Israel, September 5 - 7, 1999.
In 1999 we will be celebrating
the jubilee of the medical school in Jerusalem, which was founded
jointly by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Hadassah
Medical Organization.
During these 50 years, about 3500
medical students have graduated from our institution, and we are
proud of the way they represent our school worldwide. Since the
foundation of the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School,
which was the first one in Israel, another three medical schools
have been established - in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beersheva - and
all four of them maintain the highest standards of medical
education.
In recent years, there have been
many changes in the concept of medical education. The existing
amount of scientific medical data is vast, and we can teach our
students only the fundamentals of basic and clinical sciences. We
are constantly questioning which topics to teach, and how to
teach the topics we have chosen. The AMSE 1999 Conference will
provide an opportunity for the international exchange of ideas on
the cutting edge of research, medical education, administration
of medical schools, and for the exploration of a variety of
controversies.
The AMSE 1999 Conference is timed
for the early fall, when the weather in Jerusalem is most
pleasant. The city of Jerusalem is unique, historically and
religiously, with its very special atmosphere. Please plan to
attend, to present your work, share your ideas, and exchange
information with your colleagues in this exceptional setting.
Looking forward to welcoming you
to Jerusalem
in 1999.
Yours sincerely,
Gadi Glaser, M.D. Jacob Pe'er,
