Leveraging the AAMC Mission Management Tool (MMT) for Organizational Planning and Assessment - February 9

The MMT is a report that is released at the beginning of March to medical school deans, principal business officers, education deans, and student affairs institutional representatives. The data within the MMT are from various AAMC data surveys and resources.

The Missions Management Tool (MMT) presents national information from fully accredited medical schools. As background, the MMT is distributed to the medical school dean, the designated dean’s assistant, the principal business officer, the education dean, and the student affairs institutional representative at each school. The AAMC encourages those on the standard distribution list to share the report as they see appropriate. According to the policies governing the release of the MMT, the medical school dean’s permission is needed for the AAMC to release a copy of the report to those who are not on the standard distribution list. The Mission Management Tool is sent in an excel file, there are 6 mission areas, and you get a deciles and trends report. MMT appendix has all the data for all the years and each mission. Some schools have made their MMT results public.
