AAMC Leadership Perspective A conversation with AAMC Chief Scientific Officer Ann Bonham, PhD

What CFAS Accomplished in 2015 CFAS launched or completed a number of projects in 2015 that came about through direct feedback from our member representatives. What you say matters…

New Communication Tools CFAS reps requested a variety of ways to: Report back to their institutions Communicate with one another Learn about the operation and work of CFAS

New Communication Tools In the past year, we created and launched A downloadable PowerPoint summary of major meetings so reps have a ready-to-use resource to present to peers, societies, and home institutions The CFAS Member Representative Newsletter, which profiles reps and societies, reports news, and provides tips for navigating the AAMC. Published quarterly (the next edition comes out immediately after the AAMC Annual Meeting) The CFAS listserv for general use among reps

New Communication Tools We also added content to including a CFAS brochure, a guide to being a CFAS rep, AAMC resources for faculty, and a summary of CFAS reps and accomplishments.

New Initiative on Defining Faculty CFAS is leading a new interdisciplinary project at the AAMC, the Work Group to Define Faculty, which seeks to consolidate and build upon past work on the topic. It includes voices from CFAS, GWIMS, GFA, GDI, GFP, GRMC, and GREAT, and is chaired by Rosemarie Fisher.

New Initiative on Defining Faculty The Work Group to Define Faculty is holding an interactive session Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 9:30 a.m. “So Who Is Faculty? Checking In on an Interdisciplinary Approach to Find a Definitional Framework” – Hilton – Key 5-6 PLEASE JOIN US.

New Engagement Opportunity After hearing from CFAS reps that we needed more opportunities to engage, we have just rolled out the CFAS Content Areas, providing reps with opportunities to engage on critical topics and also providing an informational resource for existing CFAS committees and working groups. These are free-form and CFAS member driven.

New Engagement Opportunity So far, more than 50 CFAS reps have signed up to participate in the CFAS Content Areas. Many of the topics, including health policy and global health came directly from CFAS reps. If you haven’t yet signed up and want more information, Eric Weissman at: – or just find him during a break. Full implementation: Next Spring Meeting.
