Benefits of partnership

IVIMEDS offers membership to an international network of partner institutions sharing resources to enrich individual member curriculums and to enhance the ability to deliver cost effectively high quality medical education programmes. Benefits include:

• Improved finances and assets by providing the means to develop an enhanced curriculum with additional topics and approaches to learning, open access to medical training for students of different backgrounds and a global market for "home grown" educational resources and strategies.
• Rapid effective execution of new approaches that may be beyond the budget and scope of any one institution, drawing upon a global body of expertise in subject matter, educational theory and technology.
• Reduced risk associated with curriculum change by sharing innovative thinking and benefiting from other school's experiences in curriculum planning and use of learning technologies and learning management systems.
• Quality resources and innovative approaches to medical education which can contribute to the creation of a curriculum that is coherent, integrated, student-centred and authentic.
