Sponsors of the World Directory work with WFME and FAIMER in the development of the directory, and contribute to the decision-making process about:

• The mission of the directory
• The criteria for inclusion of medical schools in the directory
  • The World Directory defines “medical school” as an educational institution that provides a complete or full program of instruction leading to a basic medical qualification; that is, a qualification that permits the holder to obtain a license to practice as a medical doctor or physician.
• The minimal data set required on any school before it is listed
• The core data to be collected on each school
• The presentation of the data and access to the database by users of the directory
