Academic Medicine is the practice of medicine within a comprehensive healthcare institution that integrates education, clinical care, and biomedical research as its core missions.

Academic Medicine matters.
- Academic Medicine is the backbone of the nation’s healthcare workforce. Over three million healthcare professionals have received their education at Academic Health Centers.
- Academic Medicine is a catalyst for groundbreaking medical research and healthcare innovation that shapes the future of healthcare. Its scientific discoveries lead to new pharmaceuticals, procedures, diagnostics, and next-gen medical devices that improve patient outcomes worldwide.
