AAMC Celebrates Advances in Medical Education
WHAT: The Milbank Memorial Fund and the Association of American Medical Colleges' Academic Medicine will host a special event entitled, "A Century of Reform-Medical Education's Quiet Revolution to Meet America's Health Care Needs." The event is being hosted to coincide with the release of two reports: an Academic Medicine supplement outlining the many ways North American medical schools are revising their education programs; and a Milbank Memorial Fund study that provides in-depth detail about the changing curriculum at 10 medical schools. The program will also feature a distinguished panel of health care leaders, who will share their perspectives on medicine's future frontiers: cultural competency, end-of-life care, genetics, and health care quality.
