Association of American Medical Colleges
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is a non-profit organization established in 1876 involved in the accreditation of M.D.-granting[1] medical schools and teaching hospitals in Canada and the United States. It is also the principal administrator of the Medical College Admission Test, also known as the MCAT. The group is also involved in lobbying government agencies towards the advancement of medical science.
The Association has five constituent components: Council of Deans, Council of Teaching Hospitals and Health Systems, Council of Academic Societies, Organization of Student Representatives, and Organization of Resident Representatives. Each of these components elects members to the Executive Council, the Association of American Medical Colleges' 30-member governing body.
