THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CENTER
◄ ►
The University of Mississippi Medical Center serves as the state’s academic health center and has three interrelated missions: health professions education, health sciences research, and patient care. A system of committees exists to facilitate and guide the attainment of goals within these missions. Each committee has a specific charge and is empowered to fulfill that charge by the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. The structure, membership, and function of these committees represent an institutional commitment to shared governance both across and within each mission area. An “Institutional Committee” is defined as a group of appointed or elected individuals tasked to serve a specific function, composed of individuals representing differing points of view and different organizational components and constituencies. All institutional committees must have a name, chair, specific charge, abide by a formal committee charter and include representation from all mission areas (Academics, Research, Health System), or perform a function of institutional significance (accreditation, Joint Commission, IHL, federal regulations, etc.). All institutional subcommittees must report up to a parent institutional committee. All Institutional Committees have been reviewed and approved by the Committee on Institutional Committee Management.
