Abstracts for innovations with data and for “cool ideas” are due in October each year.
Conference Highlights for Participants
Discuss, assess, and report on educational innovations and research in health professions education.
Present a Cool Idea or Innovation (for example, share an inventive change you have made on the fly in response to the crises of 2020).
Earn a conference certificate by completing a series of interactive MedEd workshops focused on educational principles and essential teaching skills.
Network with colleagues around the world.
AAMC Meetings
Scholarship drives the practice of medical education forward, affecting how you educate trainees, what you know about your colleagues and institutions, and how you identify and close gaps in your understanding of important topics. These calls for submissions from the AAMC aim to advance the work of all those engaged in improving academic medicine and bringing together the medical school and teaching hospital community across campuses, disciplines, and missions.
