This joint meeting convenes attendees from medical schools and teaching hospitals across the U.S. and Canada to share priorities, explore strategies, and strengthen the systems and services that support the academic medicine community—creating a unique opportunity to connect with peers and thought leaders, engage in meaningful conversations, and co-create solutions that advance the success and well-being of learners, faculty, and professional staff.
