The Joint Working Group

The Continuing Education and Performance Improvement initiative of the AAMC is directed by the Joint Working Group, comprising the leadership of the Society for Academic CME and the Group on Education Affairs CME Section.

Its Vision: lifelong learning

Its Mission: To facilitate the development of a more effective, patient and population-centered and integrated model of CME/CPD based in academic medical centers, with strong bi-directional connections to the community.
