Nominations sought for AAMC council

UNMC must fill two slots by April 1

The Association of American Medical Colleges is seeking two faculty from each medical school to serve on a new council, The Council of Faculty and Academic Societies. This council will represent the faculty’s voice in the AAMC leadership structure and replaces the current Council of Academic Societies.

The appointments, which must be made by April 1, include a senior faculty (such as chair, division director, program director, center director – but without a dean’s office appointment) and a junior faculty with less than 10 years on the faculty.

The council will officially begin to function on July 1. The initial terms for representatives will be randomly staggered (two to four years), with subsequent terms of three years. Reappointment will be possible.

If you are interested in being considered to serve on the council, please contact Sharon Secora in the College of Medicine dean’s office at 559-8878, ssecora@unmc.edu.
