21 medical schools join AMA in creating medical school of the future

The American Medical Association (AMA) today announced the 21 medical schools selected to join its Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium to enhance the innovative work underway to create the medical school of the future and quickly spread these innovations to additional medical schools throughout the country.

The 21 new schools will build upon the projects that were created by the 11 schools awarded grants by the AMA in 2013 and ultimately impact thousands of medical students across the nation currently being trained to care for patients in the rapidly changing health care environment. With the added schools, the now 32 school consortium will support training for an estimated 19,000 medical students who will one day care for 33 million patients each year.
