2008 AAMC Faculty Affairs Professional Development Conference
"Celebrating Faculty Vitality and Diversity"
August 1-4, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Call for Sessions and Posters
Background
The AAMC Faculty Affairs Program Planning Committee is seeking to identify
and highlight promising practices in faculty affairs and programs that
support vitality and diversity at academic medical institutions through
poster presentations and sessions at the AAMC Faculty Affairs Professional
Development Conference, August 1-4, Pittsburgh, Pa.

The theme for this year's conference is a focus on faculty vitality and
diversity. In this context, diversity includes the broad scope of ethnic,
gender, international, socioeconomic, generational and perhaps even other
issues. We are looking for promising practices in these areas. The Committee
has a particular interest in stimulating conversations around innovative
ideas, programs, activities, and research in the following categories:
- Engaging faculty in recruitment and retention to promote diversity
- Morale/vitality/climate
- Wellness: personal and professional
- Faculty Satisfaction
- Pathways to career success

- Talent management
