About the Meeting

The Aligning Leadership for Academic Medicine: A Meeting of the Council of Academic Health System Executives (CAHSE) and Council of Deans (COD) is the only national meeting designed exclusively for AAMC member medical school deans and academic health system executives. Deans and academic health system executives have histories of exceptional leadership — in their specialties and academic societies, at their institutions, within their communities and regions, and across the entire health care sector — where they drive advancements in education, discovery, and the delivery of health care across the country. 

CAHSE and COD will convene in New Orleans with the goal of addressing pressing issues requiring collective, committed leadership across academic medicine. The meeting will be designed to facilitate: 

• Enhanced understanding of the dynamics at play behind national issues affecting academic medicine
• Strategic commitment to the academic mission across institutions
• Strengthened relationships with dean and CEO colleagues that will enable the collaboration needed to sustain academic medicine
