In an email to all AAMC constituents on Sept. 17, David J. Skorton, MD, announced that AAMC chief academic officer John Prescott, MD, will be retiring at the end of 2020 after 40 years as a practicing physician, medical school dean, and 12 years of distinguished service at the AAMC. Additionally, Dr. Skorton announced the decision to combine two AAMC clusters: the Academic Affairs cluster, and the Medical Education cluster led by Alison Whelan, MD, into a new cluster under her leadership. Since joining the AAMC in 2016, Dr. Whelan has greatly strengthened the AAMC’s connections to the medical education community and broadened the association’s efforts to advance and work across the continuum of medical education to meet our society’s evolving health needs. Bringing the two clusters together in the organization will leverage the strengths of both teams and create even more opportunities to strengthen the AAMC’s academic affairs and medical education initiatives and operations.
