About us
Our mission, vision and guiding principles to Connect, Grow and Inspire.
Our story
Evolution
AMEE was born in Europe over 50 years ago, but we have evolved into a truly global organisation, with a community that stretches across continents, spanning all areas of healthcare, to become the only organisation where you can Connect, Grow and Inspire globally, nationally and locally by engaging with professionals regardless of your specialty, role or career stage.
Purpose
We exist to promote and inspire excellence, collaboration, and scholarship across the continuum of Health Professions Education and to transform healthcare for all through excellence in education and scholarship. Ultimately, improving patient outcomes and experience.
Global recognition
Known globally for our community, respected portfolio of educational products and resources and, of course, our flagship sector-leading annual conference, AMEE is in an exciting time of development.
Building on our existing services and unrivalled reputation, we are entering a period of strategic expansion, cementing our place as the primary membership association and education hub for all those involved in Health Professions Education.
Commitment and expertise
AMEE carries the experience and knowledge of the many thousands of professionals who have been part of the association since our inception, but we are also a modern and progressive organisation, dedicated to evolving and growing in line with developments in all areas of Health Professions Education.
Community
Our members and wider community are a core part of that evolution and play an important role in ensuring AMEE continues not just to adapt, but to operate at the leading edge of Health Professions Education practice, research and innovation; challenging assumptions, developing capacity, and working collaboratively.
Because, at its heart, AMEE is simply a community of people dedicated to improving the health of society as a whole through excellence in Health Professions Education.
