Year 1 | Delineation and Mapping

On Feb. 23, 2017, the AAMC hosted its first live-streamed workshop of a multi-year series of meetings to map participating institutions’ community health-focused activities into coordinated systems, and subsequently evaluate impacts for patients, communities, learners and the institutions themselves. The workshop included speakers from the VA, NIH, CMS, HRSA, and CDC among other national stakeholders.

• Program and Workshop Overview
• Grantee Presentations
• Systems Thinking and Community Assets
• What Would and Ideal System Look Like and Accomplish?

Progress Reports: Following a year of work mapping the health equity/community health related research, training programs, and initiatives at their respective institutions, on July 17, 2017 eight awardee cohort and three virtual cohort teams presented findings regarding barriers, opportunities for expanded internal and external collaboration, and SMART goals to address community specific health outcomes.
