Goals/objectives

We reviewed the goals for the next year that were first discussed in September.

FIS/BSI should be a focus. We discussed how we will approach these issues. A strategic planning committee will be initiated by Dr Lee and we should ask about the committee at the next meeting with him. The FSI/BSI and measurement of productivity for clinicians should be on the agenda. FIS should be made fair and accurate and most importantly should appear to be fair and accurate. An increase in bridge funding is also important in light of the lowering of NIH funding levels. The increase will be made a priority for the faculty. The second priority is the funding requirement for tenure that needs to be reviewed in light of the NIH funding problem. Faculty retention is also a problem at the Medical Center and should be discussed. Primary care evaluation should be re-assessed. Faculty governance should also be discussed. Lastly, the Faculty Senate Steering Committee should have a budget.
