Join Us in Nashville!
Learn Serve Lead is the premier AAMC learning and networking event. This year’s annual meeting will be held in person Nov. 11-15 in Nashville, Tennessee, and will offer 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.
Remember, you don’t need to be an institutional leader or a physician to attend. 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.
