AAMC Health & Safety Protocol

The AAMC continues to support vaccination for all to reduce the severity of infection and believes that high-quality, well-fitting masks effectively mitigate infection. While we will continue to encourage attendees to be vaccinated and wear masks in all venues, there will likely be gatherings associated with this meeting with people who may not have been vaccinated. We recognize that mask-wearing is now optional. Moreover, there have been reported instances of transmission of the COVID-19 virus, even among vaccinated people who are not wearing masks (for example, while eating and drinking.) For this reason, attendees should consider and determine whether they are comfortable with the risks associated with different events (e.g., indoor vs. outdoor, masked vs. unmasked, AAMC-controlled vs. public space). 

Additional Information

The AAMC is the sole source for current email and mailing lists of AAMC meeting attendees. The AAMC is aware of individuals and companies that may be aggressively marketing such lists, however, they DO NOT have access to AAMC attendee email and mailing lists. The AAMC has NO affiliation with such third parties. Please be vigilant if approached by any service other than AAMC regarding AAMC meeting attendee email and mailing lists.
