The AAMC is committed to helping K-12 students explore careers in medicine and we want to help educators, too. Whether you're working with middle or high school students, we can provide you with information and resources to help your students explore their interests in health care, make informed choices, prepare for college, and pursue a successful medical career.  We hope you'll use the resources, information, and videos here as you work with students on their path to becoming a doctor or health care professional.
