  • The essence of social accountability of a school is their engaging, partnering with, and responding to the needs of their communities, regions and nation (noting that some social accountability activities may involve all three levels whereas others may predominately involve the community, or region, or nation).

    In combining the work of the Global Consensus for the Social Accountability of Medical School and its own deliberations in the area, the ASPIRE Panel has developed criteria for Excellence in Social Accountability of Medical Schools approved by the ASPIRE Board, to encompass four domains:

    1. Organisation and function of the school;
    2. Education of doctors;
    3. Research activities;
    4. Contribution to health services for its community, region, and nation.
