Such units have a variety of titles and operate either independently or under the office of the dean. Teir activities include conducting educational research, teaching and providing service and career development of academic staff. Te scope of their activities ranges from serving medical faculty only to all other health professionals at either the undergraduate or postgraduate levels. Several factors contribute to the success of MEUs and their establishment is seen to have a positive effect on their medical school.
