Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA)
In September 2006, the AAMC Executive Council approved a proposal to
establish the new Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA). The GFA will support
institutional leaders in the development and enactment of policies and
programs that advance the academic missions of teaching, research, and
clinical care.
The GFA's mission is to build and sustain faculty vitality in medical
schools and teaching hospital. The GFA does this by supporting faculty
affairs deans and administrators in their development and implementation
of institutional policies and professional development activities
that advance the academic missions of teaching, research, and clinical
care. More >>
For more information about the current activities and discussions
of the GFA Steering Committee, see Dr. Valerie Williams, Chair of
the GFA's New Chair's Column for updates.
