Call for Proposals
Group on Business Affairs /
Group on Information Resources /
Group on Institutional Planning 2010 Joint Spring Meeting
May 4-7, 2010 - Westin
Kierland Resort & Spa - Scottsdale, Ariz.
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, GIP,
and GIR member.
This meeting provides a unique forum to promote and learn from
the collaborations that occur daily at academic medical centers
by bringing together three important professional groups within
the AAMC. The committee is particularly interested in proposals
from institutional teams that reflect the differing perspectives
of the groups. It also encourages proposals that reflect cross institutional
collaborations.
The topics identified below are only a suggested list of issues.
If there is an issue that is not listed below but you think would
be of interest to GBA, GIP, and GIR members, the committee would
welcome that submission.

Proposal Guidelines
-
Priority will be given to proposals that are of interest to
members of all three groups. We strongly encourage collaboration
on proposals between GBA, GIP, and GIR members.
-
Proposals that address topics identified above and that describe
an established activity or implemented system are given priority.
-
Breakout sessions will be held May 5, May
6, and May 7. Sessions are 75 minutes long, which should
include time for questions. Sessions may draw audiences of up
to 75 people.
-
Proposals must be submitted by constituents of AAMC-member institutions
and may include consultants (or other non-AAMC members) if considered
integral to the presentation. If a consultant or other non-AAMC
member is included in a presentation, they are only permitted
to attend their session and not the full meeting.
-
If a consultant
wants to attend the full meeting, there are a limited number of
commercial exhibitor spaces available. This is the only option
for commercial organizations to attend the full meeting. Non-AAMC
members that are not commercial organizations (i.e. federal and
state representatives, other non-profit organizations) are handled
on an individual basis. All commercial exhibitor requests and
questions about non-AAMC member attendance should be addressed
to Heather Sacks at hsacks@aamc.org for more information.
-
Conference fees, travel and lodging: Session participants
are responsible for registering in advance for the conference,
paying the full registration fee, and securing and paying for travel
and lodging.
Please submit proposals by November 25, 2009 via the online form.
