JIAMSE 20-3 is now Available

Dear readers of JIAMSE,

I hereby present to you issue 20-3 of JIAMSE, the Journal of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE). Every article in this issue focuses on the role of the basic sciences in modern medical education. In 2006, IAMSE initiated the Flexner Revisited project to celebrate and recognize Abraham Flexner’s contributions to medical education by examining his findings for the basic sciences in the context of medical education for the 21st century. This year marks the centennial anniversary of the Flexner report and this issue of JIAMSE provides the culmination of several studies from this IAMSE project, brought together by Guest Editor Pat Finnerty.

Issue 20-3 is also the last issue of the IAMSE journal that will be published under the name of JIAMSE.  Starting January 2011, the peer reviewed journal of the association will be called Medical Science Educator.

Issue 20-3 is available at http://iamse.org/jiamse/public.htm

I hope you will enjoy this special and last issue of JIAMSE and I look forward welcoming you back in Medical Science Educator next year!

Peter G.M. de Jong, Ph.D.
Editor-in-Chief
