Overview

Mission

The association for hospital medical education (ahme) is a national organization of institutions and individuals concerned with medical education. This concern covers all phases of medical education, including undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education, either singly or in a variety of combinations. The majority of these teaching hospitals has a functional association with one or more colleges of medicine and represents a large segment of the clinical facilities available for graduate training in the united states. These hospitals have made extensive commitments to graduate and continuing medical education for many years. The association qualifies as a not-for-profit organization under internal revenue code 501(c)(6) and is exempt from income taxes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Publications (ahme news, guide to medical education in the teaching hospital, remediation of the struggling medical learner book, the journal for continuing education in the health professions, remediation case studies: helping struggling medical learners and clinical reasoning: coaching the struggling medical learner)are produced to provide informational and educational articles to members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
