The AAMC has published a new data snapshot that examines the impact of COVID-19 on medical school operations and includes select findings from the AAMC COVID-19 response dashboard. Since March 2020, the AAMC COVID-19 Response Dashboard tracked the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical school operations and finances. Data were collected via surveys that remained open throughout the pandemic and closed on June 15, 2021.
Key findings include:
- More than 80% of responding medical schools anticipated some form of disruption, meaning a delay and/or loss, to revenue collections or allocations from at least one of the following areas: practice plans, research, and hospital transfers.
- 60% of responding medical schools indicated experiencing some form of budget cuts.
- 43% of FY 2021 faculty salary budgets were impacted by COVID-19, with 25% experiencing disruptions greater than $1M.
- 42% of responding medical schools reported repurposing or relinquishing space.
