Situation analysis
There are several important initiatives in
Medical Sciences Education in Jordan.
Considerable achievements have been made in
Nursing Education at all levels. In the field of
Medical Education, both Medical Schools in Amman
and Irbid are active. A center for Educational
development at the University of Jordan has the
potential to serve as an important resource for
Jordanian Universities and other countries in
the Region. During this biennium, WHO is
supporting the two medical schools as well as
the newly established school in Muta by
organizing a medical education workshop.
Collaboration should be strengthened during the
2002-2003 biennium in order to upgrade national
capabilities in this area.
Priority areas

Strengthening collaboration in medical
education
