UMAP Aims
The partnership's aims are:
- To become a national opt-in system for assessments in undergraduate medicine.
- To develop a bank of sufficient size such that security is a non-issue.
- To sustain and build on quality in question writing and question review.
- To output evidence based research on assessments in undergraduate medicine.
In an article published by the Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine it is written that by sharing resources and working together the UMAP partners are attempting to stop "reinventing the wheel" in the field of undergraduate written assessment in medical education.

Famous quotes containing the word aims:
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
