The Irish Network of Medical Educators (INMED) is an interprofessional association for healthcare education professionals in Ireland. INMED was founded in 2008[1] by National University of Ireland, Galway, Queen's University Belfast, Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, University College Cork, University College Dublin, and Trinity College Dublin.
INMED's largest events is its Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), an international conference which includes keynote lectures, workshops, demonstrations, and student-led sessions. The inaugural ASM took place in 2008 and was opened by Minister for Disability and Mental Health Services Jimmy Devins.[2]
