Abstract: Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) which are the most essential for training the health care professionals in Saudi Arabia are facing several constraints due to technical sophistications. However, the studies focusing on the challenges encountered by the AMCs are scarce and it needs to be explored in a detailed manner specifically in the Saudi Arabian context. Thus, this study has been undertaken by the researchers with two fold objectives: To retrospectively review the literatures, to drive out the challenges faced by the AMCs located in Saudi Arabia and To propose suitable recommendations to be implemented for further improvement of these AMCs in the country. This study suggests several strategic initiatives which will help the policy planners to understand the pros and cons of operating AMCs and to take necessary action for its successful functioning.
