AAMC-CDC Cooperative Agreement

AAMC-Based Projects

Regional Medicine-Public Health Education Centers (RMPHEC) and RMPHEC-GME

The establishment of Regional Medicine-Public Health Education Centers (RMPHECs) and Regional Medicine-Public Health Education Centers-Graduate Medical Education (RMPHEC-GME) is a collaborative effort of the AAMC and the CDC to improve population health, public health, and prevention education for medical students and residents.

RMPHEC and RMPHEC-GME sites are required to partner with at least one state or local public health agency to help integrate this content into their curricula. Grantees have developed their own educational approaches and materials that are consistent with their institutions' curricular structures and themes.

RMPHEC Grantees

RMPHECs were established with funds from the AAMC-CDC Cooperative Agreement at the following institutions over two funding cycles—a pilot group in 2003, followed by the current cohort, who received their first year's funding in 2006.
