FAIMER International Fellowship in Medical Education

FAIMER’s fellowship programs are targeted to health professions educators who have the potential to play key roles in improving education in their schools or in their regions. These programs develop skills that allow participants to serve as resources for their colleagues, institutions, communities, and regions. The programs emphasize education methods, education leadership and management, and development of a community of educators.

Participants focus on education innovation projects of their choosing that are supported by their home institutions. Preference is given to projects where there is a clear link to improving the community or population health. Implemented projects serve as relevant, local working models for additional future enhancements in health professions education.
