The University of South Alabama College of Medicine has been invited to participate in virtual meetings hosted by the American Medical Association Accelerating Change in Medical Education consortium.
The consortium hosts multiple conferences each year for medical school members to discuss key innovations and challenges facing medical education such as assessing competency in health systems science, optimizing the transition from undergraduate to graduate medical education and combatting structural racism in medical education.
The AMA has invited a select number of external institutions to send representatives to its virtual meetings.
“It is a great opportunity for the USA College of Medicine to network and collaborate with other institutions nationally in the discussion and development of solutions facing medical education today,” said T.J. Hundley, M.D., associate dean for medical education at the USA College of Medicine. “We are looking forward to participating and contributing to change.”
