Northeast Group on Educational Affairs (NEGEA)

The Northeast Group on Educational Affairs (NEGEA) is one of the four regional groups of the AAMC’s Group on Educational Affairs (GEA). The mission of the NEGEA is to foster excellence along the continuum of medical education--undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, and continuous professional development--by providing a forum for discussing the concerns of the medical education profession, serving as a resource, and acting in an advisory capacity to the GEA and AAMC.

This mission is accomplished through communication, cooperation and shared respect among its members by:

1. Enhancing the professional development of medical educators;
2. Advancing research and understanding in medical education;
3. Providing service to the profession by assisting individual members and institutions through consultation and programs for professional development; and
4. Promoting formal and informal relationships and communication among those involved in medical education
