From the 25^th -31^st of August 2017, I Participated in the AMEE 2017 conference in Helsinki, Finland. This International conference which focuses on medical education, witnessed the participation of about 3800 people from 92 countries across the globe.

During this conference, I attended the ESME course (Essential Skills of Medical Education) which was really interesting, very informative and worthy workshop that helped me to advance my teaching skills, and I will try to implement what I have learned during it in my way of teaching as I am now a teaching assistant at Al-Quds University and I always intened to be involved in the teaching process. Also, I had the chance to meet with lots of people from different countries and specialties in this workshop and in the conference in general, where I had the chance to benefit from their experience in teaching and share mine as well.

At the end, nothing of this would have happened without the generous sponsorship of the IMET 2000, so I would like to take the chance to thank this Charity for giving me such opportunity which already affected me in a positive way and will inspire me for more in teaching in the coming days.
