Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fifth International Conference on Medical Education Informatics (MEI2024) will take place from Monday 10th to Tuesday 11th of June 2024, in the premises of the Conference and Dissemination Center of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. This conference is composed of a number of keynote and invited lectures, invited panels, as well as short oral and poster presentations. Keynote speakers, invited experts, and dedicated panels, workshops, and symposia will focus on key issues in research and practice. This program will be complemented by poster presentations, providing a unique opportunity for interaction and debate around all conference themes. Conference participants will benefit from the co-located satellite events and project meetings that are scheduled in parallel (a number of EC-funded projects through Horizon Europe and the Erasmus+ programs).

The theme of this year’s conference is “Empowering Health Education: Digital Transformation Frontiers for All”. In an ever-changing digital world, health and medical education are constantly evolving. Disruptive technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence shape new challenges but also opportunities to empower health and medical Education through a constant digital transformation.

Please find more information at https://mei2024.org.

We welcome contributions from all conference presenters with an accepted abstract, but also from researchers that aim to shed light on the digital transformation frontiers to enhance health and medical education on topics aligned with Virtual Worlds aims and scope (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/virtualworlds/about.
