The Research

 While social accountability has been identified as a powerful paradigm shift in medical education, social accountability as an educational innovation is still largely under-theorized. This study seeks better understanding of how socially accountable education may be fostering transformation in health and education systems internationally.

We seek to:
1.  explore the values and meanings of socially accountable education;
2.  analyze how social accountability is being expressed in different ways in different contexts; and
3.  explore novel ways of understanding the lived accounts of socially accountable medical education.
