According to the report, the AMA wants to focus on three main areas of innovation in medical education: flexible learning plans, improved knowledge of healthcare financing and optimized learning environments.
“We want to bring schools together to foster and accelerate the kind of bold changes that will help [medical students] not only succeed, but thrive in the evolving healthcare environment,” said James Madara, MD, AMA executive vice president and CEO, in the report.
Medical schools across the nation are encouraged to apply for the grants. To apply, schools must file a letter of intent by Feb. 15 and a full proposal by May 15, according to the report.
