                  the correct teaching and learning to train auditors. Quality assured clinical
                  learning, including evidence shared across boundaries, will support a glob-
                  ally prepared Medical international workforce able to transfer skills and prac-
                  tice and offer best interventions to enhance patient treatment throughout
                  digital development. Shared evidence is essential within the EU, due to ben-
                  efits of free movement, of health professionals across borders and cross bor-
                  der healthcare, which includes movement of patients to receive treatment.
                  Such perspective includes requirements to ensure parity of competence and
                  standards of professional proficiency, and their very presence points to the
                  necessity of cultural appreciation and understanding of the needs of patients
                  across borders. HEALINT and HEALINT4ALL were focused on providing Medi-
                  cal Education and Professionals Allied to Medicine a digital interactive audit
                  system to facilitate quality assurance of EU clinical learning environments so
                  that european Healthcare students will be confident that they can obtain an
                  increased number and variety of safe optimised learning placements through
                  extensive partnerships developed, thus fostering inclusivity. In all these pro-
                  jects one of the most difficult parts was the inclusion of the culturally sensi-
                  tive and congruent perspective, especially by partnerships in which different
                  cultural groups were represented. In fact, consensus methods were needed
                  in all of them to guarantee the culturally sensitive and congruente scope. All
                  these lessons learned and good practices from the European experience of
                  creating culturally sensitive and congruent digital education and learning
                  initiatives and projects for health professions across Europe are essential for
                  fostering true effective professional Mobility. From the experience of the par-
                  ticipants in those projects here are some key components and good practices
                  to be considered that could guide others:

                    1.  Curriculum Development through:
                          − Inclusive Content by Integrating diverse cultural perspectives in he-
                         alth education, emphasizing the importance of understanding local
                         health practices and beliefs.
                          − Use of Standardized Competencies by creating a framework of core
                         competencies that all health professionals should achieve, allowing
                         for consistency across countries while respecting local contexts.

                    .  Technology Utilization through:
                          − Digital Platforms by using adaptable e-learning platforms that cater
                         to various learning styles and languages, promoting accessibility.
                          − Telehealth Training by Incorporating telehealth modules that prepa-
