Ninth Annual Meeting of Global Alliance of Medical Excellence

2–3 June 2025 – The 9th Annual Meeting of the Global Alliance of Medical Excellence (GAME) was successfully held at the University of Nottingham, UK. This event brought together leading experts in healthcare education and research from eight prestigious GAME institutions to ignite innovative ideas and foster collaboration.

The meeting began with warm remarks from Professor Sube Banerjee, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Nottingham. This year’s theme, “Enabling Technologies in Health Education and Research,” highlighted the transformative role of technologies in reshaping the global health community.

On the first day, the meeting included thought-provoking education sessions that featured the need for adaptive teaching methods in today’s rapidly evolving learning environments. Key presentations covered various topics such as virtual physiotherapy placements, international collaborations in simulation-based education, and the integration of AI in health education. Speakers explored a range of topics, including AI tools in cardiology and the future of AI in medical training and assessment.

The focus of the afternoon session shifted to the role of AI in health research. Groundbreaking studies—such as AI in digital pathology, the chronological trajectory of health-related quality of life, and patient stratification in premalignant gastric cancer—demonstrated how AI is enhancing clinical outcomes and opening new avenues for collaboration. The VR education and PhD4GAME parallel sessions addressed the use of VR in educational teaching and explored strategies for international research funding and matchmaking. The day concluded with a delightful dinner at the Trent Building at the University of Nottingham.

On the second day, a platform was created for early career researchers to share their work, facilitating valuable discussions about current challenges and innovations. The afternoon session focused on global healthcare education opportunities, highlighting the importance of strengthening partnerships between universities and health services to ensure that medical training remains relevant in an ever-changing world.

The 2025 GAME Annual Meeting not only reinforced existing relationships but also sparked new collaborations, setting a course for continued leadership in global healthcare education and research.
