AAMC -- Faculty Vitae - September 2004

Faculty Vitae is a quarterly publication that features include news, resources, and lessons in leadership and management to support U.S. medical schools and teaching hospitals. Faculty Vitae is available to all of the academic community. Our goal is to reach all 100,000-plus medical faculty and to enhance capabilities and community of faculty through professional development.

The theme of this first edition is Faculty Vitality, that energizing academic environment that results from faculty and institutional leaders contributing to mutual achievement of goals and mission.

For Faculty

Institutional Perspectives

Faculty Development Resources

Spotlight: Dr. Jeannette South-Paul, University of Pittsburgh Chair of Family Medicine
How does a Chair keep organizational mission and personal vision viable? Dr. South-Paul describes the importance of personal and professional relationships in maintaining balance and energy while staying on the "treadmill" of academic life.

Leadership Lessons: Do You Speak Like A Leader?
"Speaking like a Leader" requires attention to qualities of vocal tone and projection, body language, listening and response whether one is well prepared for the podium or caught by surprise in the board room. Learn more about maintaining a powerful voice from lessons of the July Women in Medicine professional development conference.

Perspectives: on Faculty Vitality
Never enough time and never enough money, but the academic mission goes on. Your colleagues in the Council for Academic Societies share their perspectives on how to address contemporary institutional challenges.

Feature: Professional Development and Faculty Vitality
As with any productive organization, our medical schools are able to meet challenging economic targets, community responsibilities, and academic contributions only when they foster skill development of faculty and staff and reward productivity that meets institutional missions.

Comprehensive faculty development supports faculty vitality through both individual and institutional contribution.
