About the ASPIRE Award Program

The ASPIRE award program was established to go beyond the traditional accreditation process, and to identify, recognize and reward world-class excellence in education. The aim of the program is to highlight, showcase and exemplify best-practice in health professions education, improving the education process and outcomes of other institutions around the world.

Each year applications open for Medical, Dental or Veterinary Schools from across the globe to submit examples of their greatest achievements in a variety of areas, to be assessed against the defined criteria for excellence, set by a board and panels of international leaders and experts in their field.

For the purposes of the ASPIRE Award in International Collaboration, collaboration represents the purposeful action of working with others for mutual benefit that extends beyond the organizations themselves and involves a sharing of responsibilities and power. Collaborations should be able to demonstrate the additional benefits and value that the collaboration brings, over and above what each entity can achieve alone.
