2025 GMA Annual Conference in Düsseldorf/Germany
Information is available: gma2025.de
Dear colleagues and students,
We are pleased to announce that the 2025 annual conference of the Association for Medical Education will take place in Düsseldorf from September 8 to 10, and we warmly invite you to address two complementary topics in an open discourse.
Under the motto “Knowledge Creates Health – Life Sciences in Medicine and Health Sciences”, we ask ourselves:
1) What is the significance of basic sciences, especially the life sciences, for medical studies, clinical decision-making and clinical practice? How should these basics be taught in the future in the educational continuum of medical training, specialization and continuing education in human medicine, dentistry and other health professions?
2) Closely linked to this topic, we are addressing how the development of scientific skills in medical and health professional degree programs can succeed as a basis for lifelong learning.
It is clear that the dynamic development in the field of artificial intelligence in both subject areas only allows for preliminary answers and that the necessary critical review of AI-generated relationships will become considerably more important in the future.
We look forward to exciting discussions and encounters in our newly opened innovative and interdisciplinary teaching and learning center on the campus of the University Hospital Düsseldorf and the Heinrich Heine University – and, of course, on the banks of the Rhine.
