An interactive documentation of the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) in Africa.

MEPI supports 13 institutions in Sub-Saharan African countries and their partners to develop or expand and enhance models of medical education. These models are intended to support the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) goal of increasing the number of new health care workers by 140,000, strengthen medical education systems in the countries in which they exist, and build clinical and research capacity in Africa as part of a retention strategy for faculty of medical schools and clinical professors. Largely funded by the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC), MEPI is jointly administered by the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health (FIC/NIH) and the HIV/AIDS Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration (GHAP/HAB/HRSA.)
