The primary mission of the GFA is to build and sustain faculty vitality in academic medical institutions. Faculty affairs deans and administrators who make up the GFA strive to advance the academic missions of teaching, research, and clinical care in medical schools and teaching hospitals by developing and implementing policies, programs, and professional development activities that support faculty.

For Members

Listserve

A GFA-sponsored e-mail discussion group facilitates communication among medical school faculty, administrators, and staff with responsibility for faculty affairs policies and faculty development issues. Colleagues can exchange ideas, post information and questions, and seek solutions using this electronic resource.

The listserve, formerly known as the FACAFFS, is undergoing renovation and will be back in operation by October 2009.

FAMOUS

GFA members have access to Faculty Roster reports via FAMOUS (Faculty Administrative Management Online User System). AAMC Login and active GFA member status is required.

FAMOUS is a Web-based report writing tool that enables users to view aggregate reports on medical school faculty members and chairs, using data from the AAMC Faculty Roster. There are many institution-specific and national reports that can be generated, such as retention reports, promotion reports, alumni reports, department reports, rank reports, demographic reports, and educational reports.
