The Conference Organising Committee of the SAAHE Western Cape Region has the pleasure of inviting you to the 2nd National Health Sciences Education Conference in Cape Town on 2-4 July 2009. This conference continues SAAHE’s practice of annually bringing together professionals with an interest in health science education. 

The 2009 SAAHE Conference is hosted by the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town and is organised together with the University of the Western Cape, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and Stellenbosch University. The 2009 SAAHE Conference brings together distinguished health science individuals from South African universities, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Malaysia.  

The conference provides an important forum in which to share the latest developments and thinking in health science education.  The broad theme of this year’s conference is Growing Health Science Education. We invite you to come and share in a range of conference activities and satellite events. Half and full day workshops and special interest groups will be hosted on Wednesday 1 July.  Should you wish to host a special interest group in a related field, we can provide a venue. All you will need to do is to make arrangements with participants.  Please contact Athol Kent on athol.kent@uct.ac.za to book a special interest group space.

The 2009 SAAHE National Conference will provide a unique opportunity to learn and teach, to network and socialise with colleagues and to exchange ideas on new developments in health science education.  We hope to see you there.

Kind regards

Dr Viki Janse van Rensburg
