Part III

A New Era: The Early Years of the National Academy of Medicine

The years after the establishment of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in 2015 were marked by unprecedented crises in the United States and abroad, including the COVID-19 pandemic and other pandemic infectious diseases, climate change, racial injustice, and an erosion of trust in government and science. The following chapters describe how the NAM advanced new strategic priorities and developed program models to achieve impact amid a challenging and rapidly evolving landscape—ushering in a dynamic new era for the organization.

Commissioned to mark the 50th anniversary of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM; formerly the Institute of Medicine [IOM]), this volume describes the circumstances that led to the IOM's founding in 1970, the members and leaders who built and sustained the organization, and the process by which the IOM became the NAM in 2015. The volume also details a selection of the IOM/NAM's most influential contributions to biomedical science, U.S. health care, and population health and concludes with the story of how the organization navigated unprecedented national and global crises between 2015 and 2021.
