About the Meeting

Balancing Tradition and Innovation:
Strategic Synergies in a Time of Change

The landscape of academic medicine is evolving at an unprecedented pace. How can we embrace modern solutions and new ideas while honoring the rich history and established practices that define our institutions? The Group on Business Affairs (GBA) and Group on Institutional Planning (GIP) invite finance and administration, human resources, department administration, strategic planning, and space and facilities professionals from medical schools, academic health centers, and teaching hospitals to join us at the GBA/GIP 2025 Joint Spring Meeting. This year, the AAHCI Senior Administrative/Fiscal Officers (SAFO) Meeting will be held in conjunction with the GBA/GIP 2025 Joint Spring Meeting, bringing SAFO executive leaders together with GBA and GIP attendees. This unique collaboration will allow all attendees to attend sessions and events hosted by each group. 

The 2025 theme, Balancing Tradition and Innovation: Strategic Synergies in a Time of Change, explores how institutions steeped in legacy can evolve strategically. Together, we’ll tackle the challenges of modernization while preserving the unique identities of our institutions. Through shared insights and collaboration, we’ll identify ways to navigate change without losing sight of the values that anchor us. 

What You Can Expect:

• Forward-Focused Content: Sessions on leveraging AI for efficiencies, funds flow models, reimagining space for modern needs, compensation strategies, data-driven planning, and academic health system sustainability. 
• Networking and Connection: Build relationships with peers who understand the complexities of academic medicine and the importance of balancing traditions and innovation. 
• Skill-Building Opportunities: Attend the preconference professional development workshop to expand your expertise and enhance your leadership on change management strategies. 
• On-Site Inspiration: Be a part of an informative tour of The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix. 

Why Attend?

This is your chance to pause, reflect, and recharge as you explore how to balance innovation with tradition in your work. Leave with a renewed perspective, actionable insights, and tools to drive meaningful change at your institution.
