Abstract
In this article, the president of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges (ACMC) and its director of research review the issues that have confronted ACMC since its inception: the founding of ACMC; development of the clinical teaching unit; creation of the Medical Research Council and expansion of the research mission; the Royal Commission on Health Services and the founding of new faculties of medicine; ACMC's in-house research program; accreditation and ACMC's links with medical education in the United States; and French-language medical education in Canada. The review points out the perennial nature of many of these issues, and how often perceived solutions to the problems later become problems themselves. It ends on the optimistic note that ACMC can successfully meet the challenges of the future.
