As part of its strategic plan, the AAMC has established a think tank – the AAMC Research and Action Institute – led by Executive Director Atul Grover, MD, PhD. The AAMC Research and Action Institute was formed to bring together national thought leaders, researchers, policy makers, and AAMC experts to create actionable solutions that lead to effective change in health policy. In a new periodic communication, Notes and Insights from the AAMC Research and Action Institute, Grover will share short perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for improving health in this nation. Recently, he shared what the Institute has been working on, his thoughts on the current state of the country’s response to COVID-19, and the work that remains after the pandemic subsides.
