Welcome to the Medical Education Interest Group (MEIG) at Warwick Medical School. This group has been developed in order to bring together faculty and students interested in developing their skills as medical educators and teachers. It is a discussion group for anyone interested in medical education, and those actively involved in teaching, curriculum development or educational research. The MedEd Interest Group meets once a month to hear from expert speakers, to inspire, to share experiences and to offer support and advice for ways to approach those tricky medical education related topics.

For the foreseeable future, we will be meeting virtually on Teams, where you can discuss the latest thinking in education, ask for advice on teaching, or simply listen to our expert speakers.

The MedEd Interest Group (MEIG) has 4 main activities:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Interactive Meetings for Staff & Students (held virtually on Teams)
            2. Dissemination of Newsletters which summarise contents of MEIG meetings.
            3. 'MEIG Motivations' (Section found below: motivational posts to inspire and get you thinking about best practice)
            4. 'Medical Education Events of Interest' (Section found below: To Promote Upcoming Medical Education Conferences, Funding, Events of Interest to Staff & Students)
