The American Medical Association selected eight award recipients to participate in its newly developed Reimagining Residency Initiative.
Dr. James L. MadaraAMA’s $14.4 million award will fund eight projects from medical schools, residency programs and health systems that have a goal to improve residency training. Each project will receive $1.8 million over five years.
