ABOUT IMEC

International Medical Education Conference

The International Medical Education Conference (IMEC) is a forum for forging and renewing friendships between educators of healthcare professions from around the world; a platform to exchange ideas and experience and showcase innovations. It is usually held in March/April every year for two days (to coincide with the Annual Academic Council of the IMU), preceded by Pre-Conference workshops the day before. The theme changes with each Conference and this year’s theme is “Reshaping Health Professions Education for Equity, Inclusivity and Diversity”.
