This innovative approach ensures that learners have access to content that is current, instructionally sound and aligned with their goals. 

The team at ScholarRx developed the first global health sciences curriculum exchange and an extensive library of multi-competency medical education content that is ready to be integrated into any existing curriculum or learning environment.
