List of Committees
The Bylaws of the Faculty of Medicine (as last amended April 22, 2005) govern the Faculty of Medicine. The current form of governance was established when the Bylaws were adopted in 1978.
The Faculty Council, now consisting of 47 voting members, is the primary governing body. Faculty elect their department representatives for the Council; institutional representatives are selected by the faculty at each affiliated hospital; and at-large representatives are elected by the full-time and special faculty. The Council has three major committees: a steering committee elected by the Faculty Council; a nominating committee elected in part by the Council and in part by the full-time faculty; and a bylaws committee elected by the Faculty Council.
The Council meets at least five times each year, with an agenda set by the steering committee. The Council's responsibilities include setting the agenda for the Faculty of Medicine (often referred to as the "general faculty") meetings.
The Bylaws describe the governance process and areas of responsibility of the Council in detail. A roster of the membership of the Faculty Council and standing committees is published each summer. Nicholas Ziats, Ph.D., Professor of Pathology is the 2007-2008 chair of Faculty Council.
There are currently 8 standing committees of the Faculty of Medicine; each reports at least once per year to the Faculty Council. The committees are as follows:
