As the health care education landscape in the UK changes rapidly and dramatically, collaboration across institutions bridging undergraduate and postgraduate fields is increasingly necessary. Collaboration entails both risks and benefits. There is a paucity of advice on how to ensure collaborative projects in medical education are effective.

In 2011 three medical schools began a collaborative project along with NHS Education for Scotland (NES) to modify, develop and deliver a medical school version of the NES foundation programme ePortfolio, called UMeP. The underlying principal was the introduction of an authentic ePortfolio early in undergraduate life. The challenge of three diverse medical schools with significantly different curricula and assessment approaches working together with a single postgraduate ePortfolio was complex and demanding.
We reveal the complexities of collaboration on education projects and draw on our experiences to provide illustrative examples of collaboration. Despite the increased complexity and need for compromise, we argue that successful collaborative partnerships are key to maximising the circumstances in which education innovation can be successful, and create the potential for robust evaluation and research.
随着英国医疗保健教育格局迅速而显著地变化，跨机构在本科和研究生领域之间的合作变得越来越必要。合作既有风险也有好处。关于如何确保医学教育中的合作项目有效，缺乏相关建议。关于如何确保医学教育中的合作项目有效，缺乏相关建议
2011年，三所医学院与苏格兰国民保健服务教育机构（NES）开展了一个合作项目，对NES基础课程电子档案袋进行修改、开发并推出一个医学院版本，称为UME-P。其基本理念是在本科学习早期引入一个真实的电子档案袋。三所课程和评估方法差异显著的不同医学院与一个单一的研究生电子档案袋合作，这一挑战既复杂又艰巨。
我们揭示了教育项目合作的复杂性，并借鉴我们的经验提供合作的示例。尽管复杂性增加且需要妥协，但我们认为成功的合作关系是最大限度增加教育创新能够成功的情况的关键，并为有力的评估和研究创造潜力。
