GEMx/Foerderer International Experiences

"GEMx is a global partnership for educational exchange in medicine and the health professions. GEMx’s Partners are medical schools and other institutions around the world that share a commitment to making international exchange a part of their education programs and to providing students in medicine and the health professions with increased access to exchange opportunities. GEMx is a program of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), a world leader in promoting quality health care. Through GEMx, ECFMG is extending its commitment to those participating in global educational exchange in medicine and the health professions, and is working to address the need for greater international health care training in an increasingly globalized world. ECFMG has demonstrated its commitment to the international health professions education community through the establishment of its nonprofit foundation, the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER®), which strives to create meaningful and sustained improvements in the systems that produce health care providers and deliver health care throughout the world. By providing representation on the GEMx Advisory Committee and resources on global exchange, FAIMER now contributes its expertise and commitment to the advancement of international educational exchange in medicine and the health professions."
