Structure of AMCs -

While every AMC is unique, there are some common characteristics that many share: (1) the hospital and school are often tethered together from an organizational, governance and/or legal perspective; (2) the hospital is a principal site for the education of medical students, residents, and fellows; (3) medical staff leaders of the hospital work with medical school leaders to direct activities to foster the appropriate clinical, teaching, and research environment in the hospital; and (4) providers often have multiple roles at both the hospital and medical school, such as faculty, medical staff, administrators, and researchers.
