Vision

IVIMEDS is setting new standards in medical education through a partnership of leading edge medical schools and institutions, blending high quality e-learning and face-to-face learning in the training of health care professionals.  It is committed to

• Improving health and tackling human disease by providing high quality e-learning resources which can be blended with face-to-face teaching for medical students, trainees and practising doctors
• Setting new standards in medical education by drawing on innovative and established curriculum and assessment practice of partner schools and ensuring maximum benefit from new and innovative technologies
• Providing a global perspective on medical practice that takes account of the distinctive contributions by different members of the health care team
• Providing programmes and resources that are responsive to changing societal requirements and tailored to meet the needs of individual students
• Embracing the continuum of education including undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development.  Primary development efforts have focussed on the undergraduate medical curriculum, however strategic opportunities for developments in the postgraduate and continuing professional development area are being explored and pursued.

IVIMEDS and its partners are also committed to establishing an IVIHealth Foundation to support the education, training and development of health professionals in developing countries.
