DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although the development of new curriculum and of new educational approaches has had a profound impact on medical education around the world, the biggest challenge to medical education in many sub-Saharan Africa countries continues to be that there are too few medical educators and that the institutions in which they teach are so poorly supported that they cannot fully apply their considerable skills and energy to medical education. Thus, the overriding goal of the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane-UCSD Medical Education Partnership is substantially increase the number of highly skilled medical school faculty in Mozambique. We will emphasize the development of a powerful but locally sustainable biomedical informatics infrastructure to enhance both teaching and learning. By strengthening the infrastructure for clinical, operational and epidemiological research we will both provide additional avenues for faculty development and greatly enhance institutional stability. A major priority of this collaboration is to recruit trainees and junior faculty into lifelong careers in medical education and to provide them with the skills to make these careers sustainable. To this end, we will develop early and mid-career mentoring programs that are tailored to the goals of individual Mozambican faculty and trainees as well as to the needs of the UEM Faculty of Medicine. Although the partnership will be anchored in Mozambique by the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, as the program develops we will provide active assistance to Mozambique's two new medical schools in Nampula and Tete to create a network of all three of Mozambique's publicly funded Faculties of Medicine in order to extend the impact of this MEPI to all of Mozambique. By substantially strengthening Mozambique's medical education infrastructure, we expect that our partnership will have a profound effect on Mozambique's ability to deliver better medical care to all of its citizens for the next several decades.

描述(申请人提供)：尽管新课程和新教育方法的发展对世界各地的医学教育产生了深远的影响，但许多撒哈拉以南非洲国家的医学教育面临的最大挑战仍然是，医学教育工作者太少，他们所在的机构得到的支持太少，以至于他们不能充分利用其相当大的技能和精力进行医学教育。因此，爱德华多·蒙德兰大学-加州大学圣迭戈分校医学教育伙伴关系的首要目标是大幅增加莫桑比克高技能医学院的教员数量。我们将强调发展一个强大但可在当地可持续发展的生物医学信息学基础设施，以促进教与学。通过加强临床、操作和流行病学研究的基础设施，我们将为教师发展提供额外的途径，并极大地增强机构的稳定性。这种合作的一个主要优先事项是招募受训人员和初级教师进入终身医学教育职业生涯，并向他们提供使这些职业可持续发展的技能。为此，我们将制定职业生涯早期和中期指导计划，以满足莫桑比克教职员工和受训人员的个人目标以及UEM医学院的需要。虽然合作伙伴关系将由爱德华多·蒙德莱恩大学在莫桑比克建立，但随着该项目的发展，我们将向莫桑比克楠普拉和太特省的两所新医学院提供积极的援助，以创建一个由莫桑比克所有三个公共资助的医学院组成的网络，以便将这一MEPI的影响扩展到整个莫桑比克。我们预计，通过大力加强莫桑比克的医疗教育基础设施，我们的伙伴关系将对莫桑比克在今后几十年向所有公民提供更好医疗服务的能力产生深远影响。
