Listening to @PattyMurray share how good policy gets made from listening to Americans' stories, not from putting up charts and graphs that don't resonate. #TheHillWomen Proud to be from her state!

Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion @Seahawks! This defense was special. MVP Kenneth Walker was dominant. And Sam Darnold gave us one of the best comeback stories in a long time. Enjoy the celebration.

A huge win for strengthening the physician workforce and increasing access to care! The new Medicare-supported GME residency slots announced by @CMSGOV will meaningfully impact both rural and urban communities. #ExpandGME https://t.co/vG4Haib7uY

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

Big news! @CMSGov announced new medical residency positions as a result of recent legislation to #ExpandGME. 135 hospitals across 37 states received at least a portion of a slot. This will improve access to care by expanding the physician workforce. https://t.co/vG4Haib7uY

Happy #NationalRuralHealthDay! Rural-serving academic health systems and teaching hospitals have a profound reach, giving patients access to high quality, cutting-edge care they are not able to receive locally. https://t.co/F6trJ4LRrf

Today is National Rural Health Day, a time to celebrate the achievements of rural-serving academic health systems & #teachinghospitals innovating, collaborating, and caring for patients nationwide. Thank you for all you do! #PowerofRural @AAMCtoday

Just 5% of U.S. hospitals are AAMC members, but they deliver:
🔹 33% of charity care
🔹 23% of Medicare inpatient days
🔹 27% of Medicaid hospitalizations
#Academicmedicine = care when and where it’s needed most. https://t.co/D2xSZ57AyN

From innovative cancer treatments to active clinical trials on Alzheimer’s disease, the research that #StartsInAcademicMedicine will shape lives for generations. Investing in medical research benefits all Americans. #AcademicMedicineWeek https://t.co/vQDkOCfSOK

With over $728 billion contributed to the economy and 7.1 million jobs supported, our nation’s medical schools, academic health systems & teaching hospitals are critical economic engines. https://t.co/FjVfyPfBGr #StartsInAcademicMedicine

Thank you to health care leaders from AAMC member-institutions who met with Congressional staff yesterday to share how proposed cuts to federally funded medical research will have devastating impacts on communities nationwide, economic growth, & decades of scientific progress.

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

From hosting Congressional briefings to convening #AcademicMedicine leaders on Capitol Hill, we're proud of the work we did this year advocating for medical research, patient care, health equity, community collaborations & the physician workforce. Looking forward to 2025!

The U.S. is facing a dire #DocShortage projected to reach up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Learn how more Medicare-supported #GME slots would ensure we have enough qualified physicians to meet the ever-changing needs of patients everywhere: https://t.co/a4tI3XqirB #ExpandGME

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

It was great to bring together AAMC staff and our Government Relations Representatives to discuss #AcademicMedicine priorities - #GME, medical research, health equity & more. Excited to continue collaborating with GRRs to further the important work of academic medicine.

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

Thanks to @CortezMasto, @RepRaulRuizMD and @RepMenendez for taking the time to meet with our med school deans who talked about how investing in @HRSA workforce programs and #GME can improve the health of patients in their communities and nationwide.

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

Yesterday deans from AAMC member med schools at @PonceHealthSU, @UNM, @UCIrvine, @NjmsMedEd, @FIU, & @UPR_oficial were in DC for the @HispanicCaucus Institute’s conference and met with lawmakers to highlight the importance of expanding #GME and supporting @HRSA workforce programs

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

NIH-funded research supported over 580,000 jobs and $96 billion in the US economy in 2022, creating economic opportunities in every state. Growing the @NIH is a smart investment for communities everywhere. #StartsInAcademicMedicine #RallyMedRes #FundNIH

Honored to have presented on this panel at @BeekeeperGroup’s #Buzz24 Advocacy Summit discussing strategies for reaching lawmakers on social media with this smart & savvy panel of women 🙏🏻

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

Today, our Board Chair Lee Jones, MD, hosted @Georgetown's inaugural Project Medical Education Day to share with federal & local policymakers the impact of #AcademicMedicine on medical research, health equity, #MedEd & patient care. Thanks Georgetown for this insightful event!
