Keeping academic medicine connected
The 2020 AAMC annual meeting will be different than previous years’ meetings—just as the whole world is different than it was a year ago. Academic medicine in particular has faced unprecedented challenges during 2020, making the need for our community to meet and learn from each other greater than it has ever before been. To allow us to gather while ensuring the health and safety of attendees, this year’s signature event in academic medicine will take place virtually.
LEARN SERVE LEAD 2020
We’re excited about the dynamic virtual experience we have planned for you.
Our reimagined agenda will deliver high-quality, inspiring content focused on the life-changing events of 2020. We’re thrilled that this shift to virtual will allow more people than ever to experience Learn Serve Lead’s highly rated programming, since a virtual meeting minimizes typical attendance barriers such as time and hotel and travel expenses. In addition to having access to session recordings after the event, additional content will be rolled out in the months following the conference. These additions will be available only to Learn Serve Lead 2020 registrants — another reason to register now.
At our November event, our speakers will address the complicated crises our country and our world have experienced this year. We’ll delve into how COVID-19 has changed our medical schools and teaching hospitals and how the pandemic has affected all of us. By taking part in the program, you’ll dig deep into the long-standing racial injustices embedded in our society and our health care system and map out ways we can combat systemic racism. Plan to discuss conscious and unconscious racial bias, overt discrimination, gender harassment, and inequities in academic medicine as we all consider how to capitalize on the nation’s newfound momentum for change.
