Global Directories of Education Institutions for
Health Professions
- A partnership of WHO and the University of Copenhagen
The AVICENNA Directories will be a publicly accessible database of schools, colleges, and universities for education of academic professions in health. The database will, in sequence, include medical schools, schools of pharmacy, schools of public health and educational institutions of other academic health professions. For medical educational institutions, this will replace the World Directory of Medical Schools published by WHO since 1953.
Readers should know that the organisations and institutions responsible for the AVICENNA Directories have no authority to grant any form of recognition or accreditation to educational institutions and their programmes. Such procedures and decisions remain the exclusive prerogative of the national government concerned.
