At its September 2002 meeting, the AAMC Executive Council approved
the establishment of a professional development group specifically
for the executive leadership of regional medical campuses. The Group
on Regional Medical Campuses (GRMC) recognizes the wide range of
responsibilities inherent in providing quality medical programs
on regional campuses, and the increasingly important role such programs
serve in the preparation of tomorrow's doctors.
Purpose
The purpose of the GRMC is to provide a forum to explore and promote
common interests of regional campuses of medical schools. The focus
of the group is on regional campuses, that is, the operation of
a significant portion of the medical educational program(e.g., all
of the required pre-clinical and/or clinical clerkships, at a site
geographically distant from the medical school). Such sites, while
operating as an integrated unit of the accredited medical school,
often have significant local autonomy in developing community relations,
community faculty, and educational programs that capitalize on the
unique attributes of the local institutions and resources.
The GRMC fosters professional growth and development, information
sharing, communication, and discussion of key issues among administrators,
staff and faculty of regional clinical campuses. Areas of interest
might include educational programs, student support and services,
financial management, public relations, research, or community relations.
Networking within the group and with other groups is facilitated
through programs, meetings and electronic communications.
