The Academies Collaborative was created in 2001 with the goal of sharing nationally new approaches to improving medical education and helping to create a cultural change in academic medicine that better fosters the recognition, support, and collaborative work of educators. Representatives of the new UCSF and Harvard academies convened that year during the annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Joined soon thereafter by members of the Society of Teaching Scholars at the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Academy of Distinguished Educators at Baylor College of Medicine, the Collaborative has since grown to include more than 30 universities with existing academies or plans to establish an academy.
The Collaborative continues to meet on the first Saturday of the annual AAMC meeting to catch up on accomplishments and challenges, and to tackle shared issues in a small group workshop format. All who are interested are always welcome. By discussing common issues and sharing experiences, the institutions in the collaborative have learned much and strengthened the organizational change accompanying the creation of our respective academies.
