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:

“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)
