World Directory of Medical Schools

The World Directory of Medical Schools (World Directory) (http://www.wdoms.org) is a
free, searchable directory of the world's undergraduate (basic) medical education
programs. It contains information for over 2,900 schools, both operational and
historical. Each record highlights available school details including start year, school
type, operational status, programme details and contact information.

(http://www.wdoms.org)

The World Directory brings together the information previously contained in the WHO
World Directory (http://www.who.int/hrh/wdms/en/), the International Medical Education
Directory (IMED) (https://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/International_Medical_Education_Directory) and Avicenna (https://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/Avicenna_Directories) directories. Since its inception in 2014, there have been over
400 medical schools added to the directory.

A listing in the World Directory conPrms that the medical school exists, but it does not
denote recognition, accreditation, or endorsement by the World Directory, WFME, FAIMER
