Association for Hospital Medical Education (AHME)

The Association for Hospital Medical Education, founded in 1956, is a national, non-profit professional organization involved in the continuum of hospital-based medical education. AHME’s members represent several hundred teaching hospitals, academic medical centers, and consortia which are involved in the delivery of undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education.

Mission:
The Mission of AHME is to: promote improvement in medical education to meet health care needs; serve as a forum and resource for medical education information; develop professionals in the field of medical education; and advocate the value of medical education in health care.

To fulfill its Mission, the Association annually provides: a three-day educational conference (AHME Institute); several one-day educational programs (AHME Academy); and a series of six webinars. AHME publishes the Guide to Medical Education in the Teaching Hospital (a practical resource for medical education administrators), Remediation of the Struggling Medical Learner (a structured approach to identifying and supporting residents and students who aren’t progressing at an expected pace); and AHME News.
