What to Expect
Learn Serve Lead is the premier AAMC learning and networking event. This virtual annual meeting will be an exceptional forum where educators, students, residents, researchers, clinicians, administrators, and health system leaders can build professional connections, expand collaborations, and take part in thought-provoking discussions.
During six live plenary sessions, six sessions in our acclaimed Voices of Medicine and Society series, and 30 breakout sessions, you’ll hear how the profession’s leaders are paving the way to effectively confront the issues of today — and tomorrow. Attendees will have a chance to discuss these ideas while connecting with old friends and meeting new ones during numerous networking opportunities.
Our distinguished lineup of Learn Serve Lead 2021 speakers will address a wide range of topics affecting the academic medicine community, including health equity and racial injustice. We’ll hear their unique perspectives as they challenge us to think critically and elicit innovative ideas that will strengthen our resolve and help shape the future of academic medicine.
Compelling topics this year include:
- Racial injustice.
- Health equity.
- Research in medical education.
- Lessons learned during COVID-19.
- Leadership.
- Mental health and well-being.
Remember: You don’t need to be an institutional leader or a physician to register! All you need is an inquisitive mind; a passion for improving the health of all; ideas for advancing medical education; and a willingness to listen, learn, and share.

2020 Highlights
During last year’s three-day virtual event, speakers addressed the complicated crises our country and world experienced in 2020. We explored how the pandemic has affected all of us and delved into how COVID-19 has changed our medical schools and teaching hospitals.
In addition, we discussed solutions to other topics such as conscious and unconscious racial bias, overt discrimination, gender harassment, and inequities in academic medicine.
