Theme:

ENCOUNTERS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

Objectives:

Whereas the first MED-NET conference started the discussion forum on Medical Education in Europe, the second conference aims to continue its academic development.

The task to achieve a "Complete Picture" of medical education in Europe is spread over a number of reference groups collecting data with respect to various actual topics on medical education.

The objectives of the second conference are:

to report and discuss the progress made by the various reference groups
to offer to medical faculties the opportunity to present their new developments in medical education and to encounter colleague institutions
to organise a meeting point for operational matters concerning exchange and mobility if students and staff members

The conference will be a mixture of plenary sessions, workshops, and poster presentations. There will be an extended education market allowing free exchange of information, experiences and new technologies.
