Welcome to World Medical Education

The World Health Organisation has identified a global gap of 18 million health workers that need to be found and trained. In addition, there are currently millions of community health workers, medical officers, nurses and doctors who need continuing education to maintain essential clinical skills. All deserve world-class medical education and continuing professional development so they can help to reduce the suffering and death of children and adults. Our aim is to develop training programs for health workers in all countries with a high priority given to the development of programs for those working in resource poor countries and to develop systems to ensure health workers in the remotest areas of the poorest countries benefit.

We aim to produce the highest quality of video intense multimedia educational programs for all cadres of health workers, from community health workers, to nurses, to medical officers, to doctors in the remotest settings. Each project will bring together team members from Africa and Asia; ensuring that programs are internationally relevant and engaging to a global audience. This is underpinned by our development platform which co-ordinates multiple projects across borders, with international peer review to ensure the highest standards of quality. We have recently developed an App/mobile phone/database that, uniquely, will deliver continuing video-based education to health workers in the remotest areas who do not have Internet access and allow remote assessment.
