Recognizing the contributions of academic medicine and observing Academic Medicine Week from June 10 through 14, 2024.

HRES 1289 designates June 10-14, 2024, as Academic Medicine Week to honor the contributions of academic medicine, including medical schools, teaching hospitals, faculty, students, and researchers. The resolution recognizes how these institutions drive medical education (training over 70% of medical residents), conduct research (accounting for ~60% of NIH-funded studies), deliver complex patient care, and support community health. It affirms the critical role of academic medicine in addressing physician shortages and improving health outcomes without creating new laws or funding changes. The resolution is a symbolic gesture to acknowledge these contributions and encourage public recognition of academic medicine's nationwide impact.
