The Center for Learning and Innovation in Medical Education (CLIME) was established in 2012 to advance and support health professions education throughout the WWAMI region, and to promote an integrated continuum of medical, graduate and lifelong education at all levels. We do this using state of the art methods, approaches, and activities.
