IRCME has invited overseas specialists with expertise in medical education and international cooperation as Visiting Professors from July 2000 to February 2018. They advised and instructed IRCME on planning and educational activities, and collaborated with IRCME faculty and stuff in the educational research. Through IRCME-sponsored lectures and seminars, they also provided intellectual stimulation to medical students, interns, and residents, and introduced new information on medical education and on international cooperation to a wider audience.
