ASPIRE Announcement of 2020 submissions

The ASPIRE-to-Excellence Initiative was established to provide a unique system which encouraged excellence in education in medicine and the healthcare professions by identifying, recognising and rewarding excellence in key aspects of education delivery.
Your school is invited to submit an application for an ASPIRE-to-Excellence award in one or more of the following areas:

• Assessment of students 
• Curriculum Development
• Faculty Development         
• Simulation          
• Social accountability of the school (Medical Schools only)         
• Student engagement
• Inspirations Approaches to Health Professions Education (New Theme) - Letter of intent due by 31st October 2019 and final application due by 29th February 2020

The criteria produced for excellence represent a de facto set of standards for ‘best practice’ in education and effectively outline what ‘best practice’ in these six areas should look like. The criteria have been refined following a series of pilot studies and a consultation process. 

The closing date for the 2020 round of submissions is 29th February 2020. 

Full details of the submission process are on the website www.aspire-to-excellence.org
