What do I gain by participating?

There are many good reasons to participate:

• IMEX will give you an international flavor of medical education that makes you view your own work in broader perspective.
• You will develop valuable contacts with education colleagues from three countries which may lead to ongoing collaboration.
• You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with individuals with similar education interests from other institutions.
• As a participant, you will be a "visiting scholar": you will make a personal contribution in your field of expertise.
• You may pursue a small personal project, to help you address a challenge at your own school or to work on a research endeavor where international collaboration would be helpful.
• You will receive helpful education resources and guidance before, during and after each site visit. Each institution has one or more qualified supervisors of the program. A library with access to medical education literature is available.
• You will receive a certificate of participation from IMEX after each visit *.

* IMEX is not a regular course, but a series of one week site-visits thus no formal diploma is awarded. Your own institution may reward participation with credits for CME or faculty development programs.
