IMU University Centre for Education (ICE) was established in 1999 as the Medical Education Unit (MEU). The centre was established primarily to provide advice and support for the pedagogical and quality aspects of academic programmes in the university.<\/h5>\n
<\/div>\n

The primary role of ICE is to promote learning and teaching excellence in IMU. ICE serves as the change agent in education and training at IMU University. ICE strives to meet international standards and quality concerning training for the faculty of 10 schools of IMU University. ICE also fulfils the professional development needs in enhancing quality learning and teaching by organising and conducting various training programmes for IMU faculty members.<\/p>\n

Later, the Medical Education Unit has been rebranded as the IMU Centre for Education to reflect its expanded scope in advancing educational practices beyond the medical fraternity. This transformation aligns with our commitment to fostering inclusive, interdisciplinary, and innovative approaches to education, ensuring that our initiatives support the professional development of educators across all health professions and related disciplines. It also provides teacher training, encourages and facilitates innovative approaches in learning \u2013 teaching activities, collects data for academic quality assurance and conducts research in medical and health professional education.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the IMU\u00a0Centre for Education\u00a0and the\u00a0Teaching and Learning (T&L) Office\u00a0merged to create a unified entity dedicated to advancing educational excellence across the university. This integration combines the Centre for Education\u2019s expertise in health professions education with the T&L Office\u2019s leadership in university-wide teaching and learning initiatives.<\/p>\n

The newly consolidated IMU\u00a0Centre for Education\u00a0will continue to uphold high standards and best practices in education, fostering innovation, policy development, and interdisciplinary collaboration. It will oversee key initiatives such as curriculum enhancement, faculty development, and pedagogical research, while also supporting the\u00a0Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC)\u00a0and its sub-committees on\u00a0Assessment, Technology-Enhanced Learning, and Clinical & Experiential Learning.<\/p>\n

This merger strengthens our commitment to creating a dynamic and inclusive educational environment that supports educators and learners across all disciplines.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1429″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1764830919187{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column css_animation=”none” width=”1\/4″]
