Call for Proposals Group on Business Affairs/Group
on Institutional Planning 2009 Joint Spring Meeting April 23-25,
2009 - New Orleans Marriot - New Orleans
The Spring Meeting Planning Committee is soliciting proposals for case presentations
that focus on new, innovative, and collaborative methods to address the issues
that impact you most as a GBA and GIP member.
While dean's office staff,
department managers, strategic and facilities planners, and human resources professional
are often obliged to deal with the same issues, the perspectives that each brings
will differ. The committee is particularly interested in proposals from institutional
teams that reflect differing perspectives. It also welcomes proposals that reflect
cross-institutional collaborations. Suggested topics of interest include:
-
Administrative structures of departments - creating a new department, ensuring
maximum efficiencies
- Alternative funding sources for research
-
Class size increase - space limitations, clerkship limitations, budget implications
- Community-based schools
- CTSAs - staffing concerns, addressing
budget cuts
- Disaster planning - business continuity, communication, plan
implementation, pandemic planning
- Education issues - curriculum reform/education
- financial support of the teaching mission, learning spaces and space allocation
- Faculty compensation and incentives - how faculty are held accountable
- Funds flow models
- Human resources decisions - legal ramifications,
financial implications, space considerations
- Multidisciplinary centers
- planning, implementation, guidelines, policies
- New buildings (wet
bench lab, wet research, dry research, core research) - paying for new buildings,
assigning space
- Relationships - school of medicine/hospital; practice
plan; industry
- Simulation labs
- Space Efficiencies - balancing
space needs with affordability, funding research space, renovation of current
space, size of the enterprise
- Strategic planning (medical school, medical
school/hospital, campus master, university level) - plan development, implementation,
planning processes, benchmarking
- Succession planning - recruitment, retention,
planning for the future
The topics identified above are only
a suggested list of issues. If there is an issue that is not listed above but
you think would be of interest to GBA and GIP members, the committee would welcome
that submission.

Francisco and there was a session that you would like to hear an update on, please
