Excellence in Academic Medicine
The AAMC is committed to a culture of excellence in academic medicine—one where a broad range of perspectives and experiences are valued and respected, and where students, faculty, and staff of all socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, races, ethnicities, and ages, among other attributes, can thrive and best serve all patients and communities. This commitment includes strategic efforts to support community-building, foster access to opportunities, and promote relationship-centered engagement with individuals from all backgrounds and experiences.
