Our vision
For the name In Vivo Academy to be synonymous with high-quality, outcomes-based independent medical education.
Our mission
To develop and implement quality medical education programmes and activities by conducting comprehensive gaps and needs assessments, eliciting changes to learners’ knowledge, behaviours, attitudes and performance, and measuring outcomes at all stages of programme deployment – all of which we foresee will translate to improved patient care and health.
Purpose of the Academy
The Academy was established to:
- Understand the continuing medical/professional educational needs of healthcare professionals to maintain or improve the quality of care they provide to their patients
- Provide focused medical education programmes and activities tailored to advance knowledge, improve competence, and facilitate exchange of best practice
- Promote medical education learning values and opportunities to all healthcare professionals
- Actively seek collaboration with accrediting bodies and universities/hospitals, and funding initiatives for the development of accredited and independent medical education programmes
- Continually research, learn and be aware of the different strategies that deliver effective medical education and adapting them in our own programmes
- Advocate for the transformation of how medical education is delivered and viewed in Asia and Australasia
- Ensure that outcomes data are collected and analysed not only to examine the effects of our training on clinical settings and patient care, but also to recognise opportunities in the education continuum.
