Distance learning

WFME works closely with CenMEDIC, the University of Keele and FAIMER to support the delivery of a distance learning degree in Health Professions Education: Accreditation and Assessment. The course is offered at Certificate, Diploma and Master’s levels, and meets the WFME 2015 standards for Master’s degrees.

The FAIMER-Keele Master’s Degree program is a three year course of study. The program includes comprehensive training in all aspects of health professions education as well as training in advanced research design and leadership/management. FAIMER distance learning modules are written by teams of international experts in their fields from North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, including many WFME advisers. Much of the course content uses as its framework for learning the WFME standards for undergraduate medical education and the criteria for the WFME Recognition Programme.

Courses begin each September, with applications considered in the previous February-August. For more information please see the Registration page for information on the application process, eligibility requirements, and tuition and fees.
