Why doesn the OSR vote on AAMC resolutions, proposals, initiatives, etc. pertaining to issues in academic medicine at business meetings?
• The AAMC represents one voice for all institutional members. • The AAMC is governed by a 17-member Board of Directors, which includes a student member. • The 12-member OSR Administrative Board is elected to represent medical student opinion on issues to the AAMC via the OSR Chair. • OSR specific issues such as changes to the OSR Rules and Regulations, are approved by the OSR Administrative Board, the OSR at large, and the AAMC Board of Directors. Issues not exclusive to the OSR are reviewed and approved by the AAMC Board of Directors. • The OSR does not operate independently outside of the AAMC. All initiatives, projects, etc. are subject to final approval by the Council of Deans.
