Bangladesh medical education baseline research grant

OVERVIEW:
There is a government campaign in Bangladesh to professionalise and upskill their health region and there is a recourse for the UK to assist this agenda.  There may be other local preference locales for Bangladesh, where the quality and mastery of the UK higher education, research and skills areas could improve profitable and mutually beneficial partnerships.

2. Creating a confirmation base of the range and depth of existing government-to-government, institution-to-institution relations in the medical education sector between Bangladesh and the UK and other countries, and evaluate how these exchanges are promoting equity and inclusion in medical education, and assisting in building the capacity and capability of the medical education sector in Bangladesh;
3. Identifying the stakeholders’ engagement in medical education as well as, government, professional associations, NGOs, private, local and international, in conjunction with the roles they play;
4. Recognising strengths and weaknesses of existing medical education systems;
