    ASPIRE Awards

    The ASPIRE award programme aims to highlight, showcase, and exemplify best practices in health professions education.

    The aim of this site is to help you through the process. Below, you'll find all the information you need about the award areas, criteria for success, and the submission and review process.

    ASPIRE awards are non-competitive - all institutions which meet the criteria for excellence are eligible for the award. To this end, we encourage you to chat with colleagues, ask questions, and share best practices. When you're ready, you can make payment and submit your application online.

    Please note that payment must be made in order to access the submission portal. Please contact our team on ASPIRE@amee.org as early as possible if you intend to submit and anticipate any difficulties with making payment by the deadline.



    Applications are closed for the 2025 Awards.

Social Accountability

  • Social Accountability


    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.
