MeduProf-S, Sustainable Medical Education for Professionals, a spin off of Fontys University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands, is engaged in the acquisition and implementation of complex international education projects focusing predominantly on emerging countries and countries in transition. MeduProf-S made a choice for a business approach because in more than 15 years experience the business model to improve development has been proven successful.

In most programs there is an integrated combination of the expertise of the different Schools or Expertise. No matter what the starting point is.

Our Social Entrepreneurship
MeduProf-S strives to be a “social enterprise and follows the simple, but clear definition by Rhodes, G. (2011) who defines social entrepreneurship;
“the market-based solution to socially relevant issues”
He mentions two key elements of social entrepreneurship:
Entrepreneurship;
- “aiming to supply goods or services to a market of targeted individuals for a measurable rate of return”
Social concern;
- “reacting to or driving events, actions or behavior that have consequences for or concern the wellbeing of a group or community”.
“MeduProf-S as a social enterprise shares the global concerns many of us have, but we have our feet firmly rooted in providing practical and pragmatic solutions amidst the very different realities of the varied local communities we serve”.
The link with local communities fits into the last sentence of our vision:
“We are committed to the establishment of learning communities”.
