Transnational medical education programmes and preparation for different country medical practice: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medical education is becoming more internationalised. Increasing numbers of students engage in Transnational Medical Education Programmes, pursuing their Primary Medical Qualification outside of their home country; with plans to transition back to their home country - or a third country - after graduation. Medical education is however, inextricably embedded within medical contexts, and a potential mismatch exists between graduates' place of training and place of practice in terms of the knowledge, skills and values required to practice safely in a different context.

Aim

What types of Transnational Medical Education programmes can be identified from the international literature? What are the strengths and weaknesses of these programmes and do they prepare students
