SPEEDE/ExPRESS DATA ELEMENT 1148 - ACADEMIC GRADE QUALIFIER
The source of this code set is the "Academic Grade Qualifier". It is available from the Association of American Medical Colleges, 2450 N Street NW, Washington, DC 20037. Prior to implementation of this SPEEDE / ExPRESS project, the AAMC maintained the table exclusively for their purposes and it was a two digit code. They have agreed to expand it to a three digit code and make it available for all participants in this project.
