Financial Status
Dr. Barbato stated that the medical center did well this
last fiscal year, just slightly short of budget. LUPF did well in collecting
money but were very under budget. The insurance change in the depreciation
assessment.
Update on Dean Search
Six candidates will be invited back for a second round of
interviews. Two of these are internal and 4 are external. By the end of Sept and
beginning of Oct open forums with the candidates will take place. Dr. Barbato
agreed that any of these candidates that have research programs could give
scientific presentations while the others could give presentations on something
else such as education. Dr. Slogoff’s last day will be October 31.
Update of the search
for VP for Research
The candidates to date were not very strong. With the loss
of Dr. Facione, the President has put the search on hold and may revisit the
search later.
Faculty input to
evaluation of associate and assistant deans
This should be revisited with the new Dean of the Medical
Center.
The Manpower Tack
Force
Dr. Slogoff said that he is a member of the Manpower Task
Force. Academic clinical faculty work from 42 –65 hours a week on average with a
mean of 55 hours a week with 32 hours of clinical contact time, according to a
meta analysis presented at a meeting at Bowman Gray Medical School. The average
numbers will be used in the Manpower calculations to determine how many people
are needed to cover the clinical needs. The third available appointment is a
benchmark for the wait time for clinics. The third available appointment should
be available within three weeks. By comparing the amount of contact time for
faculty, the manpower committee could determine if more faculty are needed to
reduce the wait time or if the faculty are not covering enough contact hours.
