Course Description

AAIM Digital Learning Center is pleased to introduce a new online course, the first for faculty physicians!  AAIM's Business of Medicine for UME-GME Faculty has been developed by experienced faculty and administrative leaders from Alliance member institutions.  The course is designed to advance mid-career clinician-educators, but all faculty and administrators are welcome to register.

Attendance at the live Zoom sessions is highly encouraged. All live sessions will be recorded and available for course participants within 24 hours in the AAIM Digital Learning Center.

Registration will be open from February 27 through April 18. For more information, please contact learning@im.org.
