As you know, education is something we love here at ADInstruments - especially in combination with creative technology and innovation. So it was exciting to get such a wonderful response to our workshop which followed directly after the GCC Medical Education Conference at the Arabian Gulf University in Manama, in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Mahmoud Khalil, representing ADInstruments in the region, and Emeritus Professor Tony Macknight ran the session on “Next Generation Teaching Systems for Medical Education,” which explored the idea of active learning through technology.

The main conference focused on “Needs, Challenges & Opportunities” for Medical Education in Gulf Co-operation Council countries, attended by 500 researchers, students and medical professionals hoping to “come up with important conclusions which could enrich medical education and its advancement.” It was a pleasure sponsoring a conference with such great goals.
Don’t worry if you missed out, we’ve just confirmed our involvement for the next GCC Medical Education conference - and in such a strong, advancing field there’s bound to be more exciting developments coming!
