IAME's purpose is to provide educational activities that lead to improved delivery of patient care. Physician participants are provided with high-quality educational opportunities designed to improve practice-based skills in different healthcare settings.
IAME serves an international audience of practicing physicians and allied health professionals. Potential learners include specialists such as radiologists, neurologists, surgeons, cardiologists and obstetrician-gynecologists, and primary care physicians. IAME also serves a secondary audience that includes allied health professionals, who are also members of the health care team.
IAME produces educational programs and services that facilitate learning in basic sciences, diagnostic modalities, technical skills, therapeutics, and patient management. Educational delivery systems are tailored to the continuing professional development needs of the participants in support of the following six general competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice.
IAME's goal is to provide educational activities that lead to improved patient care. The expected results of IAME's educational activities are achieved through focused medical programs that contribute to the lifelong learning of its participants. IAME relies on a variety of instruments to assess and quantify the impact of these activities on physician performance, competence, or patient outcomes. Specific expected results include an increase in applied knowledge, the refinement of skill sets, and the ability to apply new techniques or skills known to improve the quality of clinical practice and patient care.
