The foundation for any academic endeavor must be a clear mind with freedom of thought. The result must be constructive. The primary task is the pursuit of truth.

The American College of General Medicine is in the process of initiating the development of a plan to engage in research activities in the basic sciences. The American College of General Medicine hopes to collaborate, in those activities, with The College of William and Mary. Some of the research areas of current interest include investigations into the role of phospholipids in cell-volume regulation, the role of angiogenesis in tumor cell proliferation, and the role of cytokines and dendritic cells in cancer therapy, and investigations into areas which will lead to a better understanding of the human immune system.
The American College of General Medicine is wanting to engage in clinical research which will incorporate the input of general practitioners who are in private practice across the nation. In such research, clinical information could be obtained which will help all practitioners improve the care of all patients by enhanced disease detection and treatment modalities.
The American College of General Medicine is also interested in conducting research in other disciplines. Some of these disciplines include biomedical ethics, healthcare policy, medical education, medical history, and medical law.
