The Medical Education Development Program (MEDP) supports SEAMO’s objective to build an academy of SEAMO physician educational leaders and scholars with a critical mass sufficient to enable the continuous implementation of best principles and leading practices in medical education.
In 2018, SEAMO received eleven (11) requests in which eight (8) were recommended for funding by the Medical Education Program Committee (MEPC). Approximately $110 thousand dollars will be provided to the successful applicants to help further their medical education.
