Learn Serve Lead: The AAMC Annual Meeting

Learn Serve Lead brings together diverse communities within medical education, patient care, and research so that academic medicine professionals may learn from one another, find common ground, and build organizational capacity.

This year, to ensure the safety of all, Learn Serve Lead will take place virtually, providing a great opportunity for even more leaders, faculty, and students to attend.

Plan to join us online November 16-18 as we address the roles medical schools and teaching hospitals can play in improving the health of people everywhere. Registration is now open.

We’ve planned a dynamic experience that will deliver high-quality, expert-level content that focuses on the life-changing events of 2020 and the impact they’ve had on all of us.

Our diverse and inspirational slate of speakers will address the complicated crises. We’ll delve in to how COVID-19 has changed our medical schools and teaching hospitals, and how this pandemic has affected all of us.

We’ll also dig deep into the existing racial injustices in society and within health care, and provide a space for dialogue about the ways we can combat racism. We’ll confront conscious and unconscious racial bias, overt discrimination, gender harassment, and inequity in academic medicine and explore ideas about how we can maximize the momentum for change.
