When a disaster strikes, academic health centers are often on the front line of disaster response in a community. Recent events such as the multiple hurricanes that have hit our coastal areas highlight the need for emergency preparedness and rapid response plans.
Brand new from the AAHC is Managing Emergency Preparedness, a guide outlining critical steps in building the necessary infrastructure and response systems to serve a community in crisis. Written with input from leaders of academic health centers from all over the United States, this brochure provides accessible and practical information to academic health centers as they step up to the critical role they play as both community and national leaders in vigorously protecting the nation’s health.
The complex challenges facing academic health centers have catalyzed a remolding of the academic health center by accentuating the need for an organizational and management structure that brings their various components into alignment. For an important view of the evolutionary trends under way within the nation's academic health centers, see the September issue of Academic Medicine, featuring essays from ten visionary academic health centers leaders.
