ZSOM Planning With Purpose
In the upcoming months, the Zucker School of Medicine will be actively engaged in crafting a new strategic plan, placing emphasis on refreshing its mission statement and reinforcing core values. In collaboration with students, staff, faculty, and alumni, our strategic agenda will prioritize key objectives. Through the dedicated efforts of various committees, we will define measurable goals and strategic steps to drive sustained growth and success for the School of Medicine over the next decade.
AAMC StandPoint™ Employee Engagement Survey:
Building a Better Workplace Together
As an initial step in our strategic planning process, we conducted the AAMC StandPoint™ Engagement Survey to gain valuable insights into the work-life experience of our faculty and staff. This survey, specifically designed for academic medicine, measures 16 key dimensions of engagement and provides actionable data to help shape a more supportive and thriving work environment.
Who Participated?
The web-based survey was sent to all full-time and part-time core faculty and staff, including:
- Faculty: Science Education faculty, course and clerkship directors, core AI directors, MD deans
- Staff: Administrators, L153 staff, non-MD deans
To ensure confidentiality, only aggregated data was shared, and any identifying information from open-ended responses was removed.
What’s Next?
Survey results serve as part of the baseline for Phase I: Where are we now? The findings were reviewed at an AAMC StandPoint™ - led Town Hall, and working groups are forming to address key areas of opportunity. This is just the beginning of our collective effort to foster engagement, transparency, and continuous improvement at ZSOM.
