Can someone explain to me what AMC (not AAMC) stands for?

I can't seem to find any guides explaining what some of the short phrases used on the forums mean.

Depends on context, but AMC could mean “academic medical center”

It could also mean Albany Medical College. What's the context?

Could also mean American Multi Cinema just depends

I did find the glossary. Doesn't seem to explain what an AMC is though. Here is an example quote I found on the forums, "A quick poll: Is your AMC postponing outpatient, non-urgent neuropsychological evaluations? Not sure if what I am seeing at my institution is normal or not. "

Since that thread is in the psychology forums, AMC likely means "academic medical center." This would be one type of setting a clinical psychologist could work in as opposed to a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC).
