The Holistic Student Support (HSS) Working Group is charged with developing, promoting, and refining strategies that strengthen coordination between student and educational affairs to support the whole student. The group advances systems-level approaches to student success through the creation of frameworks, tools, and resources that foster well-being and academic success across the medical education continuum. It also provides consultation and feedback to AAMC staff on initiatives that enhance holistic and integrated support for learners.
