Designed for anyone interested in learning about vital issues in academic medicine over the last decade.

OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS 

For 13 years, Darrell G. Kirch, MD, president and CEO of the Association of American Medical Colleges, inspired the AAMC community through his annual presidential address. Throughout this collection of addresses, Dr. Kirch’s vibrant vision for the future of academic medicine, passion for improving medical education and patient care, and warm, collaborative approach shine through.

From framing the mission of academic medicine as a vital public good in his first address in 2006 to sharing his own struggles with burnout as a young medical student in his final address in 2018, Dr. Kirch always reflected thoughtfully about the challenges and achievements of the academic medicine community and inspired its members to action.
