SMERC

PHASE 1 of SMERC (Sep 2011 - Aug 2014) supported a number of educational research projects aligned with the NES educational research priorities. This included identifying key priority areas for Scottish medical education research. Second, all Medical Schools in Scotland agreed to get involved in a SMERC Consortium and signed a Consortium Agreement... Through distribution of Additional Cost of Teaching (ACT) funding, we support the undergraduate medical education and training delivered by Scotland's 5 medical schools: making sure significant resources are used properly to underpin the clinical teaching of medical students in hospitals and general practices... Our overarching aim is to deliver first-class medical education and training for Scotland to ensure safe, effective care for patients, both now and in the future.
