This resolution designates the week of June 23 through 27, 2025, as Academic Medicine Week , acknowledging the profound contributions of academic medicine to the nation's health. It recognizes academic health systems, teaching hospitals, medical schools, and their personnel for their vital and unique role in the United States healthcare system. These institutions focus on four core missions: educating the healthcare workforce, conducting groundbreaking medical research, delivering cutting-edge patient care, and collaborating with communities to improve public health. Academic medicine, represented by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) network, is a significant driver of medical innovation and research, conducting approximately 60 percent of all National Institutes of Health (NIH) extramural research. These institutions are crucial in addressing the projected physician shortage, training over 70 percent of medical residents, and advocating for increased Medicare support for graduate medical education. They also support pathway programs through the Health Resources and Services Administration to train healthcare professionals in underserved areas. Furthermore, academic medicine has a substantial economic impact, contributing over $728 billion to the U.S. GDP in 2019 and supporting more than 7.1 million jobs. The resolution highlights the 79-year partnership between AAMC-member institutions and the Department of Veterans Affairs, which has made the VA the largest single provider of medical training in the country. It emphasizes the need for continued, reliable federal investment in medical research, physician training, and patient care to ensure lifesaving advancements and improved health outcomes nationwide.
