This webinar updates the community on the current state of accelerated three-year medical programs and pathways (A3YP) in the United States. The session will introduce participants to several models of A3YP, including both small programs within traditional four-year schools as well as two models of stand-alone medical school that have embraced a three-year curriculum for their entire student body. Participants will learn about the Consortium of Accelerated Medical Pathways/Programs (CAMPP) as a group that has come together with the expressed purpose of promoting, enhancing, and evaluating the processes and outcomes related to accelerated medical training . Aggregate outcome measures of A3YP will be highlighted. Lastly, the session will describe the use of the AAMC AACOM Curriculum SCOPE Survey as a tool to help understand nationwide trends in medical education.
The AAMC is committed to providing inclusive sessions for all learners/participants. All sessions will be close-captioned. Please contact Kaitlyn at curriculum@aamc.org to request additional accommodations.
