We work every day to advance excellence by recruiting and retaining diverse team members, fostering an inclusive workplace, and making equitable and socially responsible decisions.

“We are committed to ensuring that the AAMC is doing everything we can to create an equitable, fair, and respectful environment at the AAMC where each of us feels safe and valued."

Diversity, equity, and inclusion matters within and beyond our own walls. We collaborate with our members and their communities to make progress toward health equity, address public health crises, and ensure that all people can access the care they need from a dynamic physician workforce.

“As a member of the DEI Council, you can see the efforts that the AAMC is putting towards making sure we are a diverse, equitable, and inclusive place for all employees. These efforts have given me a space to voice my opinion and the opinions of others to help better our environment. Additionally, the council's work has strived to address the most pertinent issues within the AAMC to ensure there are avenues for addressing any future issues that may arise.”

1. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council is comprised of employees from across the association, at all levels, and from each business area. Individuals on the council serve two roles: DEI advisor to their cluster and council member for the AAMC overall.
2. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are comprised of employees who have shared characteristics or backgrounds. They advocate for the common needs of their members, foster professional development, become a valuable resource internally, and provide safe spaces that facilitate community-building and provide support for underrepresented and/or underserved identities within the AAMC.
3. The Culture Advance Team (CAT) is a critical partner to the Leadership Team in enhancing and evolving the internal culture that reinforces and supports the core values and strategy of the AAMC.
4. The AAMC Framework for Addressing and Eliminating Racism at the AAMC, in Academic Medicine, and Beyond outlines four pillars of work that will guide the association’s efforts to create a shared vision of the AAMC and academic medicine institutions as diverse, equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist organizations.
5. AAMC Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Initiatives cultivate a diverse and culturally prepared workforce, advance inclusion excellence, imbue equity-mindedness, and enhance engagement with local communities.

The AAMC is made up of dedicated and passionate people. We each strive to make a difference in our communities.

Our culture shines the brightest through our team members — each a pinnacle point in our collaborative group representing inclusion, growth, and originality.

There is more to you than anyone knows. When you work with us, we want you to bring and share your whole self — because here, we welcome you for who you are and who you want to become.

“I’ve worked at the AAMC for 10 years and this is the most rewarding position I’ve had in my career. Our culture is rooted in the way we value and support each other. When I first joined the AAMC, it was clear how much the association values its employees and their continued career growth through professional development and training programs for supervisors and staff at all levels.”
