New issue brief explores barriers to mental health care<\/strong>
\nThe AAMC Research and Action Institute<\/a> has published a new issue brief that defines the barriers to accessing mental health care in the United States and highlights the key focus areas policymakers should prioritize to improve access, coverage, and affordability of care. The paper looks at the mental health crisis\u2014including workforce shortages, lack of insurance parity, and how to fix it. It notes that the pandemic has further exacerbated mental health problems for all ages; among adults aged 18 or older who had serious thoughts of suicide in 2020, more than one-fifth (21%) listed COVID-19 as the reason for those thoughts. While progress has been made to reduce the stigma around mental health issues, the problem persists and prevents many people from accessing care.

New AAMC curriculum survey for member medical schools
\n<\/strong>The AAMC is committed to sharing curriculum data with constituent organizations to support its members and the community in advancing medical education. We also recognize the significant burden required of members in their efforts to complete various surveys. To make it easier for schools to participate in future AAMC curriculum data collections, the AAMC is streamlining several collection efforts so medical schools will receive a single curriculum survey annually rather than multiple requests during the year. The new AAMC Curriculum Survey will launch in 2023. For more information on AAMC curriculum data efforts, please contact curriculum@aamc.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
