AAMC GREAT Appropriate Treatment of Research Trainees Guide and Webinar

Last year, a working group of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Group on Research, Education, and Training (GREAT) developed a guide to promote inclusive and supportive training environments for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The Appropriate Treatment of Research Trainees (AToRT) describes the shared principles that are essential for positive training environments, calls out behaviors that are incompatible with these principles, and presents a framework for how institutions can address inappropriate treatment when it occurs. The AAMC will host a AToRT webinar on July 18 from 1-2 pm ET that is open for all to attend. Register here.
