Medical education often occurs in silos with minimum collaboration among schools. This duplication of efforts appears wasteful, particularly during a global pandemic. We discuss the development of a shared medical curriculum ecosystem that can empower a global community of educators to democratize access to quality education even in limited-resource countries, promote interprofessional education and help address the international shortage of healthcare workers. We will describe our early experiences in developing a shared educational community of practice led by an international consortium of medical student organizations and how this may inform future directions in scaling shared open-access education.
