Overview

The AAMC Council of Academic Societies (CAS) is comprised of the leadership of 89 academic societies devoted to biomedical and behavioral research, medical education, and patient care. The collective membership of these societies includes the majority of faculty members of American medical schools and scientists engaged in life sciences research, research training, and medical education. The CAS Spring Meeting is a powerful forum for discussing and exchanging information of common interest to its membership and for evaluating and recommending policy initiatives for the Association. Its deliberations also play a key role in shaping the public policy agenda of the member societies.

Who Should Attend

The designated representatives to the Council of Academic Societies are the target audience for this meeting. The meeting is also open to other elected leaders of CAS member societies, as well as to Society senior executives.

Meeting Goals

The 2010 CAS Spring Meeting will explore the internal and external drivers affecting institutions and their faculty as they seek to recognize and shape their institutional identities. The meeting also will consider tensions in academic medicine and offer suggestions on how shared values, objectives, and reward systems (both intrinsic and extrinsic) can be better aligned and how faculty leaders can lead change. Other sessions will focus on chair retention and recruitment and focus on some of the critical issues facing faculty leaders, including managing leadership role transitions, assisting faculty and students in managing their career decisions, and facilitating the many difficult conversations a faculty leader will have at every phase of their career if they are to be effective. Special sessions will discuss health care reform issues and the neuroscience of empathy.
