Instruction Guide
The Spring Meeting Planning Committee invites proposal submissions for peer learning sessions, podium presentations, and posters for the GBA-GIP-GFA 2026 Joint Spring Meeting.

This meeting provides a unique forum to promote and learn from the ongoing collaborative work at academic medical centers by bringing together three important AAMC professional affinity groups: the Group on Business Affairs (GBA), the Group on Institutional Planning (GIP), and the Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA).

The Spring Meeting Planning Committee encourages you to submit proposals that align with the meeting theme: Navigating Complexity: People, Strategy, and Resources, and incorporates one of the topics outlined in the Instruction Guide. In addition, the Spring Meeting Planning Committee welcomes proposals that offer a deep dive into a specific topic, allowing for more in-depth discussions. The list in the Instruction Guide highlights broad topics of interest and is intended as a guide for developing proposals ideas. However, proposals on additional topics are welcome and encouraged.

Priority will be given to proposals that incorporate innovation, technology, and/or projects that are scalable across institutions. Strong proposals include actionable takeaways, best practices, and practical applications. Collaborative proposals will be highly valued, both across institutions and among affinity groups (GBA, GIP, and GFA) within a single institution. Proposals that involve multiple institutions or multiple perspectives within an institution will be prioritized.

Please note, proposals must be submitted by constituents of AAMC member institutions. While non-AAMC members or consultants can be included if considered integral to the presentation, it must be the AAMC member that submits.

Submitters are strongly encouraged to read the Instruction Guide before logging in to submit a proposal.

We look forward to bringing the GBA, GIP, and GFA communities together to explore connections and opportunities for collaboration.
