WFME and FAIMER have agreed in principle that the Avicenna Directory and the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) should merge. This process is under development, pending approval by the governing bodies of WFME and FAIMER.

The new directory will be:

"The World Directory of Medical Schools"

- and the full title will be:

"The World Directory of Medical Schools, incorporating the Avicenna Directory
of Medical Schools and the International Medical Education Directory"

WFME and FAIMER will continue to collaborate with WHO and the University of Copenhagen in this development.
