Activities
AAMC Policy on the Use of Animals in Medical Research and Education
In September 2008, the AAMC issued a revised policy statement strongly affirming the essential and irreplaceable role of research involving live animals in the advancement of biological knowledge, human health, and animal welfare. The policy also supports the use of animals to meet essential educational objectives.

Publications
Industry Funding of Medical Education: Report of an AAMC Task Force
This report by the Task Force on Industry Funding of Medical Education urges medical schools and teaching hospitals to adopt policies that prohibit drug industry gifts and services to physicians, faculty, residents, and students, and to curtail the involvement of industry in continuing medical education activities.
Protecting Patients, Preserving Integrity, Advancing Health: Accelerating the Implementation of COI Policies in Human Subjects Research
This report, issued by the AAMC and the Association of American Universities, calls on all medical schools and major research universities to develop and implement institutional Conflicts of Interest (COI) policies within the next two years, and to refine standards for addressing individual financial COI.
Principles for Protecting Integrity in the Conduct and Reporting of Clinical Trials
The AAMC adopted these principles to strengthen the role of U.S. medical schools and teaching hospitals as trusted and reliable sources of research information. They are intended to apply to all clinical trials conducted in academic medical institutions.
Drug
Development Science: Obstacles and Opportunities for Collaboration
Among Academia, Industry and Government
This report produced by the AAMC and the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration examines critical steps necessary to accelerate
drug discovery and development. This report was stimulated by the high "failure rate" for tentative drug candidates.
Compact Between
Postdoctoral Appointees and Their Mentors
This compact is intended to initiate discussions about the postdoctoral
appointee-mentor relationship and the commitments necessary for
a high quality postdoctoral training experience.
Compact Between Biomedical Graduate
Students and Their Research Advisors
These guiding principles are intended to support the development
of a positive mentoring relationship between the pre-doctoral student
and their research advisor.
