AAMC Colloquium

Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed and launched MedEdPORTAL as a free publishing venue and dissemination portal to support educators and learners as they create and use on-line teaching materials, assessment tools and faculty development resources.

"The AAMC has gathered a list of many of the milestones in medical knowledge and practice achieved at these institutions. The reported discoveries run from 1809 to the present. As new advances in patient care and research are realized, this site will be updated. "
