Association of American Medical Colleges

We are academic medicine. We are the AAMC.

The AAMC advances academic medicine by leading and serving medical schools, academic health systems and teaching hospitals, and academic societies. Through medical education, clinical care, biomedical research, and community collaborations, we unite people and ideas to improve the health of people everywhere.

For 150 years, the AAMC has advanced academic medicine by leading and serving our member institutions to train the next generation of doctors and scientists, foster breakthroughs to save lives, and prepare for health crises. We strengthen the physician and biomedical workforce, drive biomedical research, improve patient care, and serve as the national voice and advocate for academic medicine.
