Role of the Chairperson in the Poster Sessions
Medical Teacher Poster Prize
Workshops
1 Before the sessions starts, check that the presenters have arrived;
2 Introduce each presenter and allow two minutes for the presentations. Do not allow
any time for discussion between presentations, which should take up to 30 minutes,
depending on the number in the group.
3 At the end of the presentations lead the group to the poster area;
4 Allow the group to look at all the posters (it is suggested that between 15-30 minutes
is allowed for this activity);
5 Invite questions for discussion.
Taylor and Francis Ltd, the publisher of Medical Teacher, has generously agreed once
again to sponsor a prize of £150 to be awarded for the best poster at the Conference.
Posters will be judged, by a Committee, on the following criteria:
• How well are the key messages communicated through the poster?
• Does the poster arouse the interest of the viewer?
• Is the poster attractive?
The winner will be announced at the end of the final plenary session on Wednesday 5
September. In addition to the prize money, the winner will receive one year’s individual
membership of AMEE, which includes a personal copy of Medical Teacher.
Pre-Conference Workshops: Pre-booking of Pre-Conference Workshops via the
AMEE Secretariat is essential, and a charge is made. At the time of going to press
almost all the pre-conference workshops are full.
Conference Workshops: Workshops in Session 3 are listed on pages 2.13 to 2.14
and those in Session 6 on pages 2.25 to 2.27. A full description of the workshop content
is given in the Abstracts section (pages 4.23 and 4.51).
Enclosed with this programme is a Selection Form. One of the items relates to workshop
choice. Pre-booking of conference workshops offers a better chance of attending your
first choice of workshops in Sessions 3 and 6. Please complete the information requested
and either return the form to the AMEE Office or email your choices to
AMEE@dundee.ac.uk There is no charge for attending conference workshops. A list
of workshops and attendees will appear on the notice board adjacent to the Registration
area with an indication of the number of places remaining. Depending on the format,
some organisers wish to limit participation in their workshops, and we regret that you
might not be able to attend your first choice on each occasion.
