Alliance Research Surveys
Alliance Research Surveys produce results used to help professionals in IM undergraduate and graduate medical education better understand and advance their profession by: informing organizational policies and initiatives; publishing the results in scholarly journals; and by presenting results at professional conferences.
With oversight from volunteer committees, the Alliance conducts annual, semiannual, and biannual research surveys of its membership. Survey audiences include, for example, internal medicine (IM) residency program directors, residency and fellowship program administrators, core clerkship, sub-internship, and site directors, and clerkship administrators at medical schools and teaching hospital sites. Additionally, Alliance volunteer groups such as committees, task forces, and other bodies conduct periodic research surveys with technical support from Alliance Surveys staff as needed.
Alliance surveys staff manage data collection and will never disclose your or your institution’s identity in any results reporting. All research surveys are submitted to an institutional review board (IRB) for compliance with human subjects research protections, and AAIM surveys staff hold valid human subjects research training certificates.
