Colleges in 16 Countries Work to Create Virtual Medical School
More than 50 institutions in 16 countries have helped plan the International Virtual Medical School, which its organizers plan to open in the summer of 2004. The institutions include all five of Scotland’s medical schools, at the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and St. Andrews. Initial financing for the project, amounting to $140,000, came from the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council.
