IVIMEDS is an international not-for-profit partnership of medical schools and institutions working to develop the full potential of e-learning in medical education.  In partnership with its members IVIMEDS aims to provide an effective means of developing and sharing a range of quality digital learning resources and value-added educational services across the continuum of education.  Primary development efforts are focussed on the undergraduate medical curriculum, though strategic opportunities for developments at postgraduate and continuing professional development level are being explored.
