What's New

The AAMC Educational Pathways Network (AEPN)

The AEPN provides medical schools and pathway programs with data on students’ educational and professional trajectories. This project will help us understand the pathway program landscape, provide programs with data about past participants, and allow the AAMC to develop earlier relationships with students. Email aepn@aamc.org for more information or to join the pilot.
