History of the CHarME Project
The CHarME Project (coordinated by Charité Universitätsmedizin – Berlin) is the fruit of two working meetings that were held among the partners mid-October 2007 (Berlin) and mid-January 2008 (Rome). During discussions it became clear that while the BA/MA/Doctorate structure in medical education has been adopted at different speeds and with different levels of enthusiasm across Europe, all of the project partners are highly concerned about employability and societal needs. Indeed, the medical profession is undergoing constant change and this project will investigate (at a multi-country level) the ways in which universities adapt their curricula accordingly, identify examples of appropriate practice, suggest measures for improvement and widely disseminate and share the project outcomes with other interested parties. The tool used for the purpose of the present project will be a targeted benchmarking exercise focusing on medical education curriculum reform and employability.
