A Healthier Future for All: The AAMC Strategic Plan

Is America's Approach to Health Broken?

Too many people in the U.S. and around the world aren’t as healthy as they could be. That’s why the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed a bold new plan to create a healthier future for all.

A Healthier Future for All

Systemic change takes systematic action. That’s why, with the help of our members and a community of experts, we developed a strategic plan to turn our vision for a healthier future into a reality, organized around four impact areas:

  • Catalyze solutions for the biggest challenges facing academic medicine.
  • Shape the workforce of academic medicine.
  • Improve the health of people everywhere, ensuring health care is accessible and inclusive for all people; and
  • Continuously adapt to the changing needs of academic medicine.
