Medical educators rely on curriculum data and reports. Data supports medical schools in making evidence-based decisions to improve medical education experiences and outcomes, as well as informs the AAMC’s mission and advocacy on behalf of the academic medicine community.
Curriculum data and reports are available on the AAMC Institution Profile System (IPS), a password-protected application that allows authorized users to securely access a wide variety of reports, surveys, and other materials for their institution. IPS is available to U.S. MD-granting medical schools, Canadian medical schools, DO-granting medical schools, and AAMC-member health systems and hospitals. On IPS, data and reports from the Curriculum SCOPE Survey are available from the year 2023 onward to the medical school curriculum dean and authorized additional contacts assigned by the medical school. For assistance in accessing data and reports on IPS, please contact ips@aamc.org.
In addition to the data and reports on IPS, the AAMC offers curriculum data and reports from several sources including the AAMC AACOM Curriculum SCOPE Survey, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) Annual Medical School Questionnaire, Part II, and others through our website. Log in to view available curriculum data and reports. Access to these curriculum reports is restricted to certain roles. Learn more about report access.

Transition to Residency Courses in U.S. and Canadian Medical School Curricula (published July 2026)
The transition to residency (TTR) represents a critical developmental period. Data from the AAMC’s 2023-2024 SCOPE Curriculum Survey reveals most medical schools (68.7%) required at least one TTR course. This new Data Snapshot explores required TTR course timing, duration, and content covered. It highlights national common priorities as well as institutional differences, and outlines future research needs as we continue to support this important transition. https://doi.org/10.15766/datasnapshot_ttrcourses
Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships Offer an Innovative Clinical Training Model to Medical Students (published May 2026)
Clinical education is evolving. Data from the AAMC AACOM Curriculum SCOPE Survey reveals more than 20% of medical schools incorporate Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs) into their clinical education models, mainly occurring in the third year, with reported LIC duration ranging from 1 week to 50 weeks. This new Data Snapshot explores specialty coverage by LICs, comparisons to traditional training, and potential future implications of a shift toward longitudinal, relationship-focused clinical education. https://doi.org/10.15766/datasnapshot_LIC_0526
Graduates of Accelerated MD Programs: A Five-Year Look at the National Landscape (published March 2026)
Are you curious about Accelerated MD programs in the U.S.? Over the past five years, Accelerated MD program graduates comprised nearly 1% of all graduates of U.S. MD-granting medical schools and the number of schools reporting Accelerated MD program graduates each year increased from 16 schools in 2020-21 to 24 schools in 2024-25. https://doi.org/10.15766/datasnapshot_acceleratedmdprograms_0226
Anatomy Education in Medical School Curricula (published January 2026)
What does the future of anatomy education for medical students look like? Nearly 98% of medical schools rely on anatomical donors, and most combine this centuries-old teaching approach with modern, clinically relevant technology and imaging tools like CT scans and MRIs. The use of prosection and dissection, opportunities for interprofessional education, and more are explored in these latest survey findings. https://doi.org/10.15766/datasnapshot_anatomy_0126
Nutrition in Medical Education Curricula A Recipe for Increased Competency-Based Teaching and Learning (published August 2025)
