AAMC ae4Q Update AAMC’s Aligning and Educating for Quality (ae4Q) initiative is moving forward with 11 academic medical center pilot sites. Several pilot site participants met over breakfast at the recent AAMC Integrating for Quality meeting in Chicago. While each center has a different focus, there are common interests in using health system quality data to inform their CME programs and to use education as an innovative intervention for performance improvement. All resources developed for the ae4Q initiative are open and available to any academic medical center on our website.
