Second Newsletter Now Available!

Update on the Organization

Since our initial meeting in 2011, the DOCS organization has been quite active. Our first paper has been accepted in Teaching and Learning in Medicine and the results of our survey will be submitted for publication soon. We had excellent DOCS representation at many of the AAMC’s regional Group on Educational Affairs (GEA) this past spring. 
Most exciting however is our recognition and sponsorship by the GEA at our upcoming AAMC annual meeting!
