Thomas Jefferson University

Thomas Jefferson University

Jefferson Medical College of Thomas
Jefferson University and FAIMER have
signed a Memorandum of Understanding
to develop an academic partnership.
According to the Memorandum, which
was signed in December 2007, the
“purpose of this Affiliation is to formalize
the Parties’ mutual commitment to
engage in projects focused on faculty
development, undergraduate, graduate
and continuing medical education
of physicians, research in medical
education, and the creation of better
systems of health care delivery and
community practice.”
There are many types of collaborative
activities that might evolve from this
affiliation. For example, members of the
Jefferson community, both faculty and
students, are interested in creating more
opportunities for international education
and service. FAIMER Fellows can assist
Jefferson in this endeavor by identifying
opportunities and contacts within their
home countries and serving as faculty for
visiting Jefferson students. For FAIMER
Fellows in many countries, one of the
greatest obstacles to advancing their
educational scholarship is the inability to
access the health professions education
literature. The collaboration will offer the
opportunity for current Fellows to receive
full access to the library resources of a
first-rate U.S. health sciences university.
