Dean’s Report
(Dr. Michael Cain) /
- Dr. Cain presented past president Dr. Russo with a plaque in recognition of his stewardship of the faculty council over the last year.
- The consulting company that assisted JSMBS with producing the strategic plan for medical education have been re-engaged to return in July to assist with generating strategic plans for the clinical and research programs. The consultants will be working alongside Tony Campagnari and Tim Murphy, who are tasked with chairing the in house committees. An additional 23-24 people have been approached to serve on the steering committee for each strategic planning committee and a further 50 will be interviewed to gauge their opinions. The new plans are expected to be ready for implementation at the start of 2018.

The promotions committee will take all comments into consideration when drafting the next version of the document for presentation to the council in August.
