In 2005, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) launched its “MedEdPORTAL” as a free publishing venue and dissemination portal to support educators and learners as they create and use on-line teaching materials, assessment tools, and faculty development resources around the world. In March, 2008, the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) joined the AAMC to expand the Portal to include dental education resources within its repository of teaching tools. This collaboration represents the first time that academic medicine and academic dentistry have come together to share teaching resources across universities and throughout the world.
Information about MedEdPORTAL and a link to free online training workshops is available at http://services.aamc.org/jsp/mededportal/.
