ECFMG’s nonprofit foundation, the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER®), will sponsor representatives of up to five selected education innovation projects to attend the Network: Towards Unity for Health (TUFH) conference. A new highlight of the 2013 Network conference will feature “Projects That Work” – that is, education innovation projects at health professions institutions that have survived beyond initial implementation and have had a significant positive impact on health, the community, or the school over three or more years. A plenary panel during the conference will provide representatives of a few outstanding examples of such projects with an opportunity to tell their stories so that others can learn from their successes. Projects that exemplify the conference theme of “Rural and Community Based Healthcare” will be of particular interest.
The 2013 Network conference will be held November 16-20 in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Sponsorship includes air travel, hotel accommodation, and conference registration fee. Applications must be submitted to FAIMER by May 15, 2013. To submit a project description and apply for sponsorship, click here.
