About CVMU

WHO WE ARE

The Canadian Virtual Medical University Initiative (CVMUI) is the world’s first fully online medical university, created to combat the global healthcare worker shortage projected to reach 11 million by 2030 (WHO). Founded by Professor Karim Qayumi and backed by a distinguished advisory board, CVMUI uses advanced technology and an innovative curriculum designed to provide accessible, high-quality medical education to students in underserved and conflict-affected regions.

WHAT WE DO

Revolutionizing Medical Education

CVMU is breaking down the barriers of traditional medical schools (TMS), which are expensive ($3.9 trillion globally) and slow to scale. Our fully virtual model is 12 times more cost-effective and ready to launch instantly, providing world-class medical education where it’s needed most.

We offer:

  • Theoretical Learning through the Lecturio platform, delivering a comprehensive medical syllabus.

  • Practical Training via CyberPatient, simulating real-life patient interactions, clinical decision-making, and teamwork.

  • Competency-Based Curriculum focused on Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), critical thinking, and adaptability to local healthcare needs.

Our impact is proven. A study published in The Lancet’s eClinicalMedicine showed significant improvements in clinical competencies (P<0.0001) and a 95% cost reduction compared to traditional medical schools. CVMU is not just an alternative — it’s the future of medical education
