Centre for Healthcare Education Research and Innovation

Welcome to the Centre for Healthcare Education Research and Innovation

CHERI is the University of Aberdeen Centre for Healthcare Education Research and Innovation.

The driver for CHERI’s research is the understanding that effective healthcare education depends wholly on rigorous educational research.

We are backed by the University of Aberdeen to fund and direct projects that help to unlock the full potential of medical education and training.

We drive innovation in three key areas: Educating for global healthcare workforce challenges, fairness within healthcare education and development, implementation and evaluation of training within healthcare education.
