Recognizing the contributions of academic medicine and observing Academic Medicine Week from June 23 through 27, 2025.

Key Points

• The goal is to highlight how these institutions train the next generation of doctors and provide care for the sickest patients. These schools currently train about 70 percent of all medical residents in the country.
