Dr. Kirch has held his leadership position at AAMC since July 2006.
In the upcoming months, the AAMC Board of Directors will lead a nationwide search for his successor.
“Finding someone with an equally vibrant vision for academic medicine, a passion for improving medical education and health care, and a strong, collaborative voice to succeed a transformative leader like Darrell Kirch is the challenge now ahead of us,” said M. Roy Wilson, MD, chair of the AAMC Board of Directors.
