Joining Forces to Raise Awareness of Military Health Issues
The AAMC and Joining Forces are raising awareness in the academic medicine community about the critical health issues facing veterans and military families. The Joining Forces initiative is led by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden to support and provide opportunities to America’s military families in employment, education, and wellness. Through this program, the AAMC is encouraging medical schools and teaching hospitals to create a higher level of cultural awareness in the curriculum and training of physicians who care for members of the military. Currently, MedEdPORTAL, the association’s online repository of peer-reviewed medical education materials, is seeking educational resources designed to help future physicians better understand and effectively interact with military service members and their families. Eligible submissions will address the culturally competent training of future physicians for the treatment of U.S. service members and their families. The AAMC will award $2,500 grants to two submission authors. To learn more about the initiative or to submit a resource to MedEdPORTAL, visit https://www.aamc.org/icollaborative/joiningforces.
