ACADEMIC COUNCIL

The CHA Academic Council was convened in 2004 to assure that CHA pursues its academics with the highest integrity and creativity and in concert with the institution’s strategic plan. The CHA Academic Council Members are represented from the major academic departments and administrative leaders, and it reports to CHA’s CEO and its Board of Trustees. The Academic Council meets monthly to strategize meeting current objectives. Meeting agendas are open to all.


The Academic Council tracks progress through a summary “dashboard” and a report on achievement of periodic objectives. The dashboard was designed to resemble a curriculum vitae, albeit for the organization rather than an individual. Dashboard components are comprised of:


1. Peer-reviewed publications; presentation at national conferences


2. Academic promotions tracked annually


3. Awards: medical school or national awards
