Faculty Roster
The AAMC Faculty Roster is the nation’s most comprehensive database of full-time faculty and chairs at Liaison Committee on Medical Education- (LCME®-) accredited U.S. medical schools — tracking individuals as they move through their careers to help understand the past, the current state, and the future of academic medicine.
U.S. Medical School Faculty Report
exploreSince 1966, the Faculty Roster has been a trusted resource for advancing national policy discussions and supporting the day-to-day management of medical school faculty.
With participation from nearly all LCME-accredited U.S. medical schools, the Faculty Roster includes records on over 200,000 active full-time faculty and over 300,000 inactive faculty retained for research and historical insight. Schools submit and update information through an online application, with the option to upload files or enter data manually.
Authorized school representatives have access to customizable reports on retention, promotion, alumni, department composition, and more. Many reports allow benchmarking against national trends, while others focus on institution-level data. Access to individual-level data is limited to protect privacy.
Aggregated data help leaders make informed decisions at both the institutional and national level. Faculty members can review their information by contacting their school’s Faculty Roster representative, who can make updates as needed.
Medical schools are asked to submit educational, employment, and demographic data to the Faculty Roster for their full-time faculty and chairs at least once a year. Institutional participation in the Faculty Roster is voluntary at each of the nation’s LCME-accredited medical schools.
Use by the AAMC of data collected through Faculty Roster is subject to the AAMC Privacy Statement.
