Driving Global Innovation Through International Collaboration
The importance of global collaboration for innovation is a popular theme across conferences, books and academic research. Companies see global collaboration as providing a competitive advantage in stimulating commercial innovation; governments hope such collaboration will drive entrepreneurial economic development; and economics professors engage in research to analyze these models. What can the global medical education community learn from the international collaborative experiences of these groups?
- In this Unconference, we will engage the concept of international collaboration and consider how it may impact innovation in medical education worldwide:
- How can international sharing and collaborative development of online teaching materials like virtual patients drive innovation in medical education?
- How can this kind of international collaboration improve the training of tomorrow's doctors worldwide?
- What role do standards play in this arena?
- If there is a role for e-learning and VPs in driving innovation in global medical education, how can we break down silos and advance adoption, collaboration, and sharing?
- How can we measure impact and success?
