In September 2002, the UIC National Center of Excellence in Women's Health (CoE) hosted a national conference, "Beyond Parity: Transforming Academic Medicine through Women's Leadership." One outcome of the conference was the formation of a group of advocates to discuss ways to address the lack of advancement for women and minorities for change at UIC. Out of this dialogue, the Faculty Academic Advancement Committee was formed in the spring of 2003.
|
| Today FAAC is made up of 19 members and 28 Department Facilitators representing CoM faculty. FAAC was awarded the AAMC Women in Medicine Leadership Development award for their ongoing commitment to the advancement of women faculty in the College of Medicine.
