Section: Inspirational and Innovative Approaches to Health Professions Education | ASPIRE submission home | AMEE ESME

  • This ASPIRE award focuses on Inspirational and Innovative Approaches to health professions and veterinary medicine education. It recognises institutional excellence in innovations that address important gaps and can demonstrate impact. These could include overcoming economic, cultural, technological, or other barriers that move health professions education forward on a local, national, or international level.

    The subject of the submission may also in part be covered in other ASPIRE award programs (e.g., Curriculum Development, Social Accountability), but here the focus is on innovation and exemplary efforts to overcome contextual difficulties. 

    The criteria for excellence in this category involve innovations that are well planned (e.g., based on needs assessments), successfully implemented (e.g., overcoming barriers over an extended period of time), well studied (e.g., with robust program evaluations), and programs that inspire others to consider similar improvements (e.g., through presentations and publications).

    If you are interested in submitting an application for this category, please review the application criteria and submit a letter of intent initially, and the team will contact you with more information on making your full submission.
