My name is Marta van Zanten, and I’m a Senior Director at FAIMER, a division of In health. I’m involved in various initiatives supporting FAIMER’s mission, including research on quality assurance processes of international medical schools and the impact of accreditation on student and graduate outcomes.  I maintain the Directory of Organizations that Recognize/Accredit medical schools and assist in the advancement of organizational knowledge directories on systems of medical education and accreditation. I have published on a range of topics, including clinical skills assessments, international medical schools, and quality assurance and accreditation issues, and I look forward to learning more about social accountability and accreditation. 

Please note that I am unable to attend the call on December 18^th due to a prior commitment.  Also as I mentioned in a previous email, the FAIMER DORA directory may be used to find websites of accrediting agencies, but we do not have any additional information on specific contacts at the agencies listed.
