Global REACH is responsible for creating and maintaining formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreements UMMS has in place with various partner institutions around the world. Currently, UMMS enjoys standing MOU agreements with more than 30 institutions. In 2018-19, Global REACH added or renewed MOUs with partner organizations in China, India, and Japan. Such agreements formalize and clarify collaborations by specifying concrete objectives for the partnership such as allowing for the exchange of medical students and faculty, establishing dual-degree programs, or facilitating and financing joint research projects between the partner institutions.
