Background:
In 2023, the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) published the revised WFME Global Standards for Quality Improvement: Postgraduate Medical Education. These standards follow a principles-based approach, allowing institutions to develop their own contextually appropriate set of standards. They address various components of postgraduate medical education, including postgraduate doctor support, curriculum models, assessment systems, mission and values, teachers and clinical supervisors, education and training resources, quality improvement, governance, and administration.
Target audience:
This webinar aims to engage anyone interested in the field of postgraduate medical education, including:
Janet Grant PhD, FBPsS, FRCGP (hon), FRCP (hon), MRCR (hon) is an educational psychologist and WFME special adviser. She is Academic Director of CenMEDIC (the Centre for Medical Education in Context) in London. She is Honorary Professor in University College London Medical School Centre for International Medical Education Collaborations (CIMEC), and Emeritus Professor of Education in Medicine at the Open University in the UK. Her interests are in policy research in medical education, regulation, educational development, continuing professional development and curriculum.
“Internationally, there is huge variability in these programmes of training in duration, content, and level of practitioner produced and the process of accreditation based upon the World Federation for Medical Education standards allows for this variability. It includes accreditation of the whole training programme, its component parts such as the individual training practices or hospital-based training environments, individual trainers, or educators, as well as the curriculum, and the related assessments.” (https://www.rcgp.org.uk/Blog/International-accreditation)
