Central Group on Education Affairs 

The Central Group on Education Affairs (CGEA) is an affinity group of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). It encourages communication among members and to provide a forum for discussion of medical education matters. It also serves in a resource and advisory capacity to the Group on Educational Affairs (GEA) Steering Committee and the AAMC. GEA membership is open to all faculty, faculty, staff, and learners involved in medical education.
