Doha, Qatar: Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) deepened connections with the global community of healthcare educators as the college participated in the International Association for Health Professions Education (AMEE) annual conference for the first time.
The conference, held this year in Basel, Switzerland, is one of the leading global gatherings of educators, researchers, and professionals dedicated to health professions education, bringing together more than 3,000 participants from all over the world.
WCM-Q faculty attended with staff from the college’s Division of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to convene with other health education professionals, discuss innovations in the field, and evaluate the impact of educational efforts on learners, patients, and society. The CPD division also hosted a booth in the conference’s exhibition area to promote WCM-Q, its medical education programs, research activities, and its wide range of continuing medical education courses, certificates, and workshops for physicians and other healthcare professionals.
WCM-Q was a silver sponsor of the conference, further promoting the college and its activities to the global health education community.
All WCM-Q CPD activities provide high-quality professional development opportunities for physicians and other healthcare professionals based on identified needs and the latest scientific and medical developments that will increase competence, enhance performance in practice and lead to improved healthcare for patients. In addition, WCM-Q activities are accredited locally in Qatar by the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Healthcare Professions – Accreditation Section and internationally by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
