JASME Group Innovation Prize
Announcing a new award from JASME
Group Innovation Prize
The Junior Association for the Study of Medical Education (JASME) is a career group within ASME for medical students. One of its key goals is to encourage, promote and conduct medical education research initiated by students and early career professionals. One of the most important elements of this research is collaboration. Therefore we are pleased to offer one award each year to a group of medical students and doctors for innovation in the field of medical education. The awards are to encourage and reward early career medical educators, including students and early career professionals, who show imagination and enthusiasm for developing new ideas in medical teaching or education.
