Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Reading List

Back in November 2021, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) released a list of books authored by speakers set to speak at their 2021 virtual conference. It was their hope that conference attendees would read them in advance of the conference and host book discussions with each other.

Even though the conference is over, you can still read these books. Below are the books we have available at the libraries.
