Professional Standards for medical, dental and veterinary educators

The Academy of Medical Educators recognises that medical education is distinct from teaching in higher education in general because of the central place that patient care occupies not only in teaching and learning but also in assessment and feedback, and in quality assurance.

They set out to become the Standard setting body for medical educators in the UK. In 2009, they achieved this aim with the publication of the Professional Standards that define the level of competence that medical educators should achieve at each point in their careers.
