摘要

The term global village is commonly used to express how human actions are inextricably linked across geographic barriers. This phenomenon is also manifest in medical education via a number of initiatives, including telemedicine, distance learning technologies, and the establishment of satellite campuses.Furthermore, movement of medical practitioners and students across borders is now commonplace for a host of reasons, among them training opportunities as well as labor demands and opportunities. The latter situations are especially relevant in Europe, due to government-initiated programs, such as the Bologna Process, that promote movement and exchanges of medical professionals across borders.
