description Educational partnerships between academic health sciences centers in high- and low-resource settings are often formed as attempts to address health care disparities. In this Perspective, the authors describe the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration (TAAAC), an educational partnership between the University of Toronto and Addis Ababa University. The TAAAC model was designed to help address an urgent need for increased university faculty to teach in the massive expansion of universities in Ethiopia. As TAAAC has developed and expanded, faculty at both institutions have recognized that the need to understand contextual factors and to have clarity about funding, ownership, expertise, and control are essential elements of these types of collaborative initiatives. In describing the TAAAC model, the authors aim to contribute to wider conversations and deeper theoretical understandings about these issues.
