What are AAMC’s Virtual Communities?
AAMC’s Virtual Communities grows out of the AAMC’s desire to create a community-based platform that helps our constituents better engage with their peers by networking, participating in discussions and sharing resources. Our mission is to serve and lead the academic medicine community to improve the health of all. We do this by supporting the entire spectrum of medical education, research, and patient care activities conducted by our member institutions.
The AAMC and our members are dedicated to the communities we serve and steadfast in our desire to earn and keep the public's trust for the role we play in improving the nation's health.
Our Purpose
AAMC Communities connect constituents to the AAMC and to each other in a transparent, timely, and practical manner so we can advance together. By offering insights that provide value relevant to members’ unique and shared needs, participants can grow and learn together to address the future of academic medicine.
