Council of Academic Societies (CAS)

The Council of Academic Societies (CAS) is one of three governing councils of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), along with the Council of Deans (COD) and the Council of Teaching Hospitals and Health Systems (COTH). The CAS is presently comprised of 94 academic societies devoted to biomedical and behavioral research, medical education, and patient care.

The collective membership of the CAS societies include essentially all faculty members and scientists in American medical schools engaged in life sciences research, research training, and medical education.

The CAS, though diverse in membership, is a powerful forum for discussing and exchanging information of common interest to medical school faculty and for evaluating and recommending policy initiatives to the Association.
