    ASPIRE Awards

    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.

    • You can use this forum to ask any general questions about the ASPIRE programme or process. Questions raised here will be monitored by the AMEE team and we will endeavour to provide a prompt response. Any questions about the individual awards should be raised in the separate forums below.

      You can also contact us on ASPIRE@amee.org for more information.

Faculty Development

  • Faculty Development


    Faculty development refers to all activities health professionals pursue to improve their knowledge, skills and behaviours as teachers and educators, leaders and managers, and researchers and scholars. (Steinert Y. Faculty Development in the Health Professions: A Focus on Research and Practice. NY: Springer, 2014.). An institution that has achieved excellence in faculty development prepares faculty members for their various academic roles with a breadth of faculty development programs, which are evaluated for impact and which contribute to the scholarship of faculty development.
