Transform MedEd is a conference series that was launched in 2018 in Singapore. Jointly organised by Imperial College School of Medicine, London and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), Singapore, Transform MedEd 2020 is a premier international medical education conference which has transformation as its core theme. The exciting two-day programme will bring together the diverse perspectives of medical educators, academics and innovators, with those of students, patients and industry leaders. The conference will provide a forum for local and international experts to share their knowledge and experience, whilst engaging active participation of delegates through workshops, symposia, short communications, plenaries, panel discussions and seminars. Transform MedEd 2020 will establish and extend academic collaborations in medical education, addressing global challenges to achieve local impact.

Once again MERU are attending the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) conference, taking place on 24-28 August 2019 in Vienna, Austria. We have booked a stand at the conference this year, if you are attending please come and find us at booth N5.

A list of the presenters attending from Imperial and our sister institution LKC Medicine can be found here: Imperial and LKC presenters at AMEE 2019 .  Our MERU members who were funded to attend via the Education Confernece Grants are highlighted in bold.

MERU have several members attending the ASME ASM 2019 running Wednesday 3^rd to Friday 5^th July, at the Scottish Events Campus (SEC) venue in Glasgow, UK on the banks of the River Clyde.

This year's theme is "Sustainability, Transformation and Innovation in Medical Education".

In our largest collaborative venture to date, Imperial College London and LKCMedicine jointly ran the inaugural Transform MedEd conference 2018. This conference addressed transforming medical education through three main lenses; people, practice and policy. MERU and MERSU worked side by side in presenting posters on the creation, development and remit of each unit, as well as supporting many colleagues to attend and present their work to a global audience.

This year we were able to fund 18 members to join us at AMEE, showcasing research such as student perceptions of virtual and augmented reality technology as a tool for learning in medicine, teaching mentoring for junior doctors and its impact on the quality of medical student teaching, and improving ward round teaching for final -year medical students.
