Introduction:

Spanish medical education through the members of the Spanish Society of Medical Education (SEDEM) has played an important role in the development and management of the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE), occupying several positions of responsibility in its organizational chart. However, the scientific contribution of Spanish medical educators to the annual AMEE Conferences is less known.

Aim:

This work describes the Spanish scientific contributions to the annual AMEE conferences during the last 20 years (2000-2019), detailing the number of participations, origin of the participants and the topics of the contributions.

Subjects and methods:

For this, an observational analytical cross-sectional study was carried out, analyzing the programs and the abstracts books of the AMEE conferences from 2000 to 2019, locating the different contributions of Spanish authors.

Results and conclusions:

The interest of the Spanish medical educators for the annual AMEE conferences is scarce, being very low the degree of participation in them. The medical educators of our country should become aware of the importance of the AMEE and the topics discussed in their conferences in order to increase their presence in them.
