MEFANET 2009 Conference

The MEFANET 2009 conference is focused on the progress in ICT-based education of medical disciplines. The 3rd year of the conference is a continuation of very succesful and productive conferences MEFANET 2007 and MEFANET 2008, where representatives of all Czech and Slovak medical faculties could discuss specific topics. The conference provides an opportunity to medicine teachers and students to meet medical informatics professionals, as well as experts involved in multimedia support of the education. Apart from general topics, such as e-learning, telemedicine and modern ICT, the 3nd year of the conference is focused particularly on electronic support in the education of pharmacology - from the mechanism of action to the pharmacoeconomics.

Reports on teachers' experience are particularly welcome, as teachers are not only primary users of these electronic tools, but also authors of specific educational works, and often even developers of technology and software solutions. Apart from reports on clinical disciplines, contributions of ICT professionals and data analysts are also anticipated. The conference will provide enough space for educational seminars focused on the methodology of e-courses creation, as well as data formats and standards used in medical informatics. The conference programme is flexible: apart from standard sections and presentations, discussion panels can be initiated, focused on possible problematic issues.
