The conference programme includes free communications only in the form of posters, and the poster size should be 70 x 100 cm. Posters will be on display during the entire conference.

The organizers invite all delegates to submit abstracts.

The main theme of the AMSE 2009 conference is “The medical school and postgraduate education: responsibility for clinical, specialist and research education”. There is at present no integrated document which adequately describes the situation, role and function of medical schools in the organization of postgraduate clinical, specialist and PhD education in European countries. Therefore, it would be very desirable to collect as much useful information as possible in the form of abstracts and, if possible, posters. Information should include the organizers of each form of postgraduate education; especially specialist education; who sets standards, who conducts examinations and tests for specialist studies, who organizes the system of mentorship if there is one, and so on.

Abstracts (maximum 300 words) should be sent by e-mail in Word format to the scientific secretariat (Ana Borovečki, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). Please see the instructions below.
