AAMC -- Faculty Vitae - January 2005

Welcome to the premier issue of Faculty Vitae, the AAMC's new electronic publication for medical faculty development. If you received the prototype issue on Faculty Vitality in September 2004, welcome back! If you gave us feedback, thank you!

The theme of this issue is Diversity and Equity. The feature article addresses salary equity and is supported by recent references and by a Leadership Lesson on negotiation basics. Your colleagues' responses to inquiries of how to strengthen faculty diversity appear in Perspectives. We've collected memorable kudos and quotes for our colleagues successes, and we've included a graphic snapshot of statistics of academic faculty distribution by rank.

We've responded to the initial feedback from our readers and hope to hear from more of you as we work to bring pertinent information and timely education for faculty development to all medical faculty in the U.S.
