Topics comprise issues related to patient care, education and research at AAMC member institutions. Since the information on specific topics may change frequently, information is updated periodically, and all documents indicate the most recent time they were reviewed. A password is required. Passwords used by the AAMC's councils and groups to access their web-based private resources can be used and will allow viewing of the summary information with the responding institutions identified.
Institutional participation is initiated by the institution's leadership.
One of the most important responsibilities of the coordinator involves forwarding each request for information to the most appropriate institutional resource or individual to answer the question. For each topic, institutions will be asked to provide a one-half to one page summary of their initiatives. The coordinator will work with the appropriate individuals at the institution for each question. Thus, the coordinator needs to be broadly familiar with the scope of administrative responsibilities within the institution.
