ACADEMIC MEDICINE’S PREMIER EVENT
Learn Serve Lead: The AAMC Annual Meeting brings together the people and ideas shaping the future of academic medicine. As the trusted national convener dedicated to improving health through education, clinical care, research, and community collaborations, the AAMC creates the space where leaders, learners, and partners can tackle the field’s most pressing challenges — together.
The 2026 meeting will offer more ways for attendees to appear in the program, a wider range of formal and informal networking opportunities, three plenary sessions, 100+ concurrent sessions, an expanded Exhibit Hall, and honoring of the AAMC’s 150-year anniversary and ground setting for the next century.
In short, Learn Serve Lead 2026 will take attendees “From Legacy to Next.”
