Rethinking Medical School

The American Medical Association (AMA) is challenging medical schools to rethink how they train future doctors. It has three main goals:
  • Improving health outcomes and reducing health care costs
  • Accelerating change in medical education to align physician training and education with the evolving health care system
  • Enhancing professional satisfaction and practice sustainability by helping physicians navigate and adopt delivery and payment models that make the most sense for them and their practices
The AMA is currently taking requests for grants from medical schools “that propose bold and innovative projects that support significant redesign of undergraduate medical education.”
