WFME, World Federation for Medical Education
The World Federation for Medical Education is a global association created in 1972 that develops standards for medical education and promotes the accreditation of medical schools around the world. Its goal is to improve the quality of medical education worldwide, and is the organisation that officially and globally represents medical teachers and medical teaching institutions before the World Health Organization (WHO).
AQU Catalunya has been the first Spanish agency and the fifth European agency to obtain this accreditation and, therefore, from now on all the Faculties of Medicine accredited under these standards will enjoy this worldwide recognition.
