    Subcommittees - GIP

    What to Expect as a GIP Subcommittee Member:

    • Active participation in a monthly one-hour conference call.
    • Follow-up tasks between each call that could require anywhere from one to three hours of time per month. This is not routine and tends to be more intensive two to three months prior to the annual spring meeting or professional development workshop depending on the subcommittee chosen. Some months there is no work required.
    • Attendance and participation in annual in-person meeting which usually takes place during the annual Group on Business Affairs and GIP Joint Spring Meeting.
    • Opportunity to be a part of the “popular group” and the “in crowd” — behind the scenes where all the action happens!

    Data-Driven Academic Medical Centers Work Group

    The Data-Driven Academic Medical Centers (DDAMC) Work Group seeks to provide a forum for ideas and discussion around creating and continuously improving data-driven decision making across the academic medicine community by sharing knowledge and enabling academic medical centers to leverage new and existing data to inform the decisions across their missions, strategic initiatives, and daily operations. This cross-cutting work group is led by chairpersons coming from the Group on Information Resources, Group on Business Affairs, and Group on Institutional Planning and is open to all AAMC constituents, with the goal of building a community of members who are interested in data-driven decision making and taking part in collaborative opportunities and projects surrounding data-driven activities and initiatives. Work group members are expected to participate on monthly calls, volunteer for and/or help to find speakers for monthly presentations around topics that the group considers timely, as well as to contribute resources (e.g., articles, dashboards, screenshots).
