CUREM Course
AWMD 2013
ASME exhibited at the All Wales Medical
and Dental Conference held in March in
Swansea. With a high concentra�on of
students and a JASME mee�ng our stand
was constantly buzzing with ques�ons on
our conferences and courses and how
best to get your work published—
workshops are being planned to cater for
this need.
CCME 2013
ASME a�ended the Canadian Conference
on Medical Educa�on (CCME) in Quebec
in April. This annual gathering a�racted
students, health educators, researchers
and government representa�ves who
were able to share their thoughts and
experiences within medical educa�on.
Our stand was well received and there
was great interest in our journals—
Medical Educa�on and The Clinical
Teacher.
ASPiH/ SCSN in Edinburgh
ASME were delighted to a�end the joint
ASPiH and Sco;sh Clinical Skills Network
Sco;sh Symposium in Dynamic Earth,
Edinburgh.
ASPiH will also a�end our 2013 Annual
Scien�fic Mee�ng later in the year in
Edinburgh. Our stand was inundated as
we offered our usual array of teaching
tools such as copies of our journals and
our Miller’s Pyramid.
We are in the process of upda�ng our
website in order to make it more user
friendly and to ensure you can easily
navigate the site. We are also looking to
ensure that all areas and
pages of our site are visible
whether you are using an
iPad, tablet or a mobile.
We have an ac�ve
community on Twi�er and Facebook and
are looking to create a members only area
in the coming months which will give you
access to unique areas of our site
including videos and abstract informa�on
from our conferences and events.

Membership Renewals Process
You may have no�ced the Crea�ve
Commons logo on the front page of
this newsle�er. This logo en�tles
you to redistribute this newsle�er as
long as you do not alter it and give
ASME credit.
It is our aim that by the end of 2013,
that the majority of all
documenta�on produced by ASME
will have a Crea�ve Commons logo
making it clear how materials can be
used and shared.
This will ensure that the proper
recogni�on is given to informa�on
we distribute and to ensure that
knowledge is spread. According to
the Crea�ve Commons Organisa�on:
“Crea�ve Commons also works to
minimize legal, technical, and social
barriers to sharing and reuse of
educa�onal materials, with dedicated
projects in this field since star�ng in
2007.”
ASME are adop�ng open academic
prac�ce where appropriate and
inves�ng �me into this system
following our a�endance at the Open
Educa�onal Resources 2013
Conference, which we men�oned in
the March newsle�er.
