Steering Committee
The steering committee is an integral component to the success of Duke AHEAD. Members facilitate innovative problem solving and open communication across interprofessional and interdisciplinary members and groups and encourage relationship building across the schools. They serve as a sounding board for new ideas and opportunities for growth. Members meet monthly to monitor progress, assess the need for changes, and make recommendations to the director about future opportunities.
Associate Member Steering Committee
The associate member steering committee was formed in 2014 and is made up of students and residents from nursing, MD, PA, PT, and graduate medical education. The group has four faculty leaders and holds meetings monthly. The associate steering committee is responsible for planning events and development sessions for those learners interested in health professions education.
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee is responsible for creatively advertising and marketing Duke AHEAD. The committee has outlined the process for this interactive website, is responsible for the creation of the biweekly newsletters, and is looking for other creative outlets for members to interact (ie Twitter, Facebook, web forums).
Faculty Development Needs Assessment Committee
The faculty development committee was developed to identify needs of faculty to enhance their ability to teach as an interprofessional educator. The committee was responsible for the creation of the faculty competencies (see "Faculty Competencies" tab for more information).
Membership Committee
