The theme of the 2006 AAMC annual meeting is pursuing excellence, creating value.  It represents our belief that medical schools and teaching hospitals can create extraordinary value for our society by carrying out our missions of education, research, and patient care with regard for the highest standards of excellence.

With this theme we remind ourselves of the enduring values that our institutions affirm when they advance their missions with steadfast pursuit of quality for the public good. At the same time, in an era when "value" has become synonymous with "low cost," we also need to remind ourselves that we must create value in an effective and efficient way to be truly responsive to public needs.

The theme of the 2007 APMEC is outcomes in medical education – trends, issues, priorities and strategies.  Several world renowned medical educators have accepted invitations to speak and run workshops at the conference.

The organising committee invite you and your fellow medical educators to submit abstracts and register for this conference.  The abstracts submission deadline has been extended until 31 October 2006 and the early bird registration closes on 30 November 2006.

Ozzawa 2008 – Assessment for Life' will spotlight the centrality of assessment in academic and professional life. We know that assessment of individuals is a vital part of quality assurance in healthcare education. However the Conference will also recognise that increasingly achievement, both in education and in clinical outcomes, is dependent on teamwork and collaboration with other professions, and with learning, working and being assessed as part of that team. 

Ozzawa 2008 will reflect 3 interacting themes:

·       The Life of the Patient
·       The Life of the Professional
·       The Life of the Programme
