StandPoint™ Staff Engagement Survey

Staff at academic medical centers are essential to the institution’s operations, however, little is known about their professional needs. The AAMC created the StandPoint™ Staff Engagement Survey to assist medical school leaders in understanding the needs and drivers of engagement among staff.

Uniquely designed and validated for medical school staff, results from the survey can be used in parallel to the StandPoint Faculty Engagement Survey to create strong workplace cultures.
