Dear students worldwide,
It is our pleasure to invite you to become part of the AMEE Student Task Force 2020 !
AMEE is one of the most important organisations for medical and other health professions’ Education in the world. It promotes international excellence in education in the healthcare professions across the continuum of undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education. Every year, AMEE organizes the largest medical education conference in the world: the AMEE Conference! In the last years, more than 3,500 participants attended the AMEE Conferences, with workshops, lectures, poster presentations, short communications, exhibitions, etc.
This year, AMEE offers around 45 international healthcare students the chance to attend the Conference for free, with financial support for travel and accommodation expenses. In exchange for that those students are asked to assist in basic tasks, related to helping out with practical issues and assisting participants during the conference.

NB: Students studying in any country, except the United Kingdom can apply – we will try to have students from different regions of the world. However, bear in mind that AMEE will only be able to support you with between 300 – 800 euros for your accommodation and travel expenses (fair share depending on travel costs).
