Our History
​

The National Association of Postgraduate Medical Education Centre Administrators (NAPMECA) was formed, with the help of the National Association of Clinical Tutors (NACT), now known as Medical Education Leaders, UK  and held its inaugural meeting in London on 6th August 1975.

​

In 2001, following a ballot of its members it was decided that the association be renamed National Association of Medical Education Management (NAMEM, incorporating NAPMECA’s constitution) to build on the solid foundations and to reflect the changing patterns in medical education management.  The change became official as of 1st January 2002.
