## Abstract

There is an increasing commitment to building educational partnerships with institutions delivering healthcare professionals education globally. Projects with higher educational institutions in the Global South have become well established and whilst much of the educational content developed is easily translatable to partners across continents, one challenge is navigating contrasts that exist in ethics and law within international medical education. In this commentary, we reflect on the challenges faced when developing such medical educational resources and how we must avoid a ‘one size fits all’ approach through our collaborative efforts.
