The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) is exploring the development of a national Academic Medicine Record (AMR) digital tool designed to help learners securely store, manage, and share their academic medicine documents and credentials. The AMR aims to support individuals across the entire learning continuum, from aspirancy through medical school, postgraduate training, and into professional practice.
