The Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) is a nonprofit organization focused on improving global health through education in health professions. It supports international health education by pursuing programmatic work and research, concentrating on creating opportunities for educators, discovering and sharing knowledge, and developing data resources. Based in Philadelphia, FAIMER operates within the research services sector and collaborates with partners to advance standards and practices in health professions education. FAIMER serves a community of health educators and related stakeholders, helping to address gaps in education, data, and knowledge dissemination that influence the quality of international medical training. The organization is part of a broader ecosystem that includes initiatives and collaborations aimed at strengthening education and research in the health professions, contributing to improved health outcomes worldwide.
