SEAJME: 12 years of Progress

Abstract

South East Asian Association of Medical Education (SEARAME) is one of the six regional associations under the umbrella of the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME, 2003), the global non-governmental organization dedicated to setting standards in medical education. SEARAME was established in 2006 with the aim of improving the quality and relevance of medical education in countries of the South East Asian region (SEAR) at all levels; undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development. One of the main objectives of SEARAME is to encourage scholarship in medical education including educational research in SEAR countries. The South East Asian Journal of Medical Education (SEAJME) is the culmination of the SEARAME's vision to bring together medical educationists in the region and promote collaborative efforts toward uplifting the standards of medical education in the region and beyond through dissemination of research, evidence-based knowledge and information
