Enhancing global equity in medical education through effective collaboration

Collaboration is a frequently used word for non-collaborative activities; many collaborative activities only satisfy one element or one party within the activity. This talk explored a more substantive definition of collaboration, its meaning and its actions, using one specific international collaboration between AMEE and China to illustrate the way that AMEE has re-defined the meaning of collaboration.
