The Kerbala – IMI Medical Education 2018 Conference designed around the theme "Research and Medical Education: Present and Future Trends", is a great occasion to meet and share teaching and learning experience with master trainers from several countries.
Every teacher from the primary school to the university level must know and apply the theories and principles of teaching and learning. Medical education is a very special mode of education. It is an entity in its own right. It is believed that not every physician can be a good teacher, as a matter of right. One can however, gain due knowledge, matching skills and values to become an expert educator.
So here is an opportunity for all to attend this Conference and learn the art from master trainers from USA, UK, Iraq, India and Pakistan.
History informs us that from the days of Galen and Hippocrates to present day, medicine has been a life-long learning process. Abraham Flaxner organised the curriculum in 1910. His curriculum was based on biological sciences excluding humanities altogether. It was also based upon memory and recall, rote memorisation and was very exhaustive. It is still in vogue as ‘Traditional paedagogal curriculum’ but has faced many challenges since the 1950s. Now many institutions employ Problem Solving Methods, based on small group interactive Andragogy famously promoted by Knowels.
Some institutions have however, hybridised their curriculum harnessing didactic introductory lectures followed by a problem solving, clinically integrated syllabus. Being a dynamic process, not a day passes without recognizable changes in the curriculum, educational strategies, assessments and evaluation. It is akin to a race between the hare and the hunter!

It was an excellent conference well planned, presented, and well attended. If individually traveling we may have never enjoyed the kind of reception the participants received throughout their stay in Iran.
I want to thank you all for giving me such a great opportunity to be a part of your team (in Haiti). It was a unique experience and I really enjoyed working with you all.
Thank you very much for the wonderful work you do. I have seen it first hand in Karbala during the Arbaeen camps and my son was fortunate to participate in two of the missions. I have made a donation today.
I cannot express the profound impact IMI has had on my life: from the incredible opportunity to serve on the Arbaeen Medical Mission to the insightful career guidance and special programs for Young Leaders that I’ve benefitted from!
If InshAllah, I secure a residency in the upcoming match, I will owe the organizers and the speakers at the seminar more than they will take credit for.
IMI has been my outlet for philanthropic work since before I entered into high school. It is through IMI that I see my efforts, here in New Jersey, manifest into something much greater around the world. IMI has helped me realize that ambition alone is not enough to change the world; in order to achieve the changes we wish to see in this world we require ambition, vision, and most importantly execution. That is why I have joined IMI, so that my ambition and vision can meet their execution.
