AAHCI Student Leadership Initiative Overview
INITIATIVE (ASLI)
2023-2024
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the AAHCI launched the AAHCI Student Leadership Initiative (ASLI) with the
leadership of the AAHCI Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) Regional Office host, University of
São Paulo. The program invited students from member institutions in the LAC region to submit
proposals sharing innovative ideas on virtual medical education in response to the challenges
experienced by medical students and their institutions as a result of the pandemic. The 2020
ASLI program proved to be quite successful, and the LAC office continued it in 2021 with a
new theme for proposals -- “The Convergence of Climate Change and Health Professions
Education”. More information about ASLI and the resultant proposal abstracts can be found
online: https://www.aamc.org/career-development/affinity-groups/alliance-and-aahci/aahci-
student-leadership-initiative-asli.
2023-2024
In partnership with AAHCI regional offices, AAHCI is opening a new call for submissions for
students at AAHCI member institutions to submit proposal abstracts for a new ASLI theme:
“Innovative Interprofessional Education (IPE) Models and Programs”.
The goal is to provide health profession students an opportunity for thought leadership and to
share their ideas and proposals for innovations in interprofessional education in the health care
professions. Specifically, students will be invited to share proposals that highlight new ideas or
existing innovative programs, models, or studies that achieve at least one of the following:
