Online Medical School to be Hosted by Dundee University

Academics from the world of medicine converged on Dundee at the end of January for a summit to discuss the world’s first virtual medical school. The International Virtual Medical School (IVIMEDS) is being developed by 40 medical schools, which will contribute learning materials and teaching time to help train medics, especially in the developing world. The IVIMEDS project will be based at the University of Dundee.

The director of the project, Ronald Harden, said, “The priority for medical education today is to train more doctors in a more cost-effective way. The consortium is putting together a huge bank of resources, which will eventually cover the entire spectrum of medical education from undergraduate to CPD.”

The first phase of the project is expected to go live in September 2004.
