Abstract
Our final location for medical education in this trio of chapters on matters of place/place matters, offers a paradox. It is both everywhere and nowhere at once. Global, or international, medical education is, we suggest, in danger of being homogenized through virtual (online) programs. More importantly, regardless of the medium of delivery, ‘whose’ medical education is being delivered? Who decides on the nature of the message? Is the pedagogy of a global medical education actually a Western export, offering a neo-imperialism or neo-colonialism by the back door?
