Abstract
The AMEE meeting is unique among the medical education conferences in that it is truly international. Educational research presented at the 2009 AMEE Meeting was both diverse and robust. In this article, we will present an overview of educational research from the meeting. We will begin with outlining our methods for the selection and categorization of themes, discuss some highpoints from some of the respective themes, and finally from the conference overall.
