AAMC Faculty Forward/Standpoint Survey The School of Medicine, in Spring Semester 2015, participated for the third time in the AAMC Faculty Forward survey which is an instrument developed for medical schools by the AAMC. Faculty Forward has now been relabeled as Standpoint Survey that encompasses surveys for medical school faculty, staff, and health related professional schools. Our first Faculty Forward survey, in 2009, was a collaborative survey between the AAMC and COACHE. Since 2012 the AAMC has independently managed the Faculty Forward survey process. The AAMC presented national trends for schools that conducted surveys between 2013 and 2016 at a February 2017. The subsequent slides were presented at the February meeting and for comparison we can evaluate our school s results with the national data and trends.
