Today’s Agenda 01 An Orientation to the AAMC 02 An Orientation to CFAS
CFAS Orientation Eric Weissman, Senior Director, Faculty and Academic Society Engagement November 5, 2017
What Is CFAS? The Council of Faculty and Academic Societies (CFAS) represents U.S. medical school faculty and academic societies within the AAMC CFAS membership consists of 358 reps from medical schools and academic societies CFAS is one of only three AAMC councils, which gives it direct representation on the AAMC’s Board of Directors through our chair and chair-elect. This really matters!
What Does CFAS Do? The Council of Faculty and Academic Societies provides a voice for academic faculty within the AAMC’s governance and leadership structures. The council is charged with: Identifying critical issues facing faculty members of medical schools and within academic societies; Providing a voice for faculty about those issues to the AAMC as they relate to creation and implementation of the AAMC’s programs, services, and policies; and Serving as a bidirectional communications conduit regarding matters related to the core missions of academic medicine.
But What Do We Really Do? Engage directly with reps on AAMC advocacy issues Convene committees and working groups on topics that matter Develop programming for AAMC events, including LSL Develop our own annual spring meeting for CFAS reps Publish and disseminate CFAS-led meeting sessions in Academic Medicine and elsewhere Present at other AAMC meetings and other organizations
But What Do We Really Do? Maintain the AAMC’s “Well-being in Academic Medicine” website and other content such as a new F&A resource on aamc.org Engage in national efforts, like NAM Action Collaborative Connect you with opportunities Create a community where we learn from each other Networking! Bidirectional communication! (it’s a thing)
What Are Our Big Issues? Major advocacy priorities – GME and NIH funding and others Faculty identity and leadership Faculty resilience and wellness… AAMC pioneers on this topic Both the clinical and basic science enterprise Biomedical research advancement The teaching and learning environment Health equity and diversity Faculty professional development and training …and more issues as CFAS reps (you!) raise them
AAMC Sign-on Letters Through CFAS, the AAMC has distributed four advocacy sign-on letters to this year – these are meaningful given AAMC’s coalition strategy 59 societies added their names to the letters, which addressed NIH funding, NIH F&A costs, DACA students, and fetal tissue research
