AMEE has formed a number of committees focused on key topical areas of healthcare professions education and its development. All committees share the AMEE mission of enabling and promoting collaboration with, and between, a diverse and inclusive global community of health professionals, educators, and other stakeholders to foster scholarship and best practice.

AMEE Committees were established to facilitate the Association’s programme in specific areas and to assist members in having a role in AMEE’s activities.

Each committee reports back to the AMEE executive committee and board.
