Academic Affairs Council

Goals

The Academic Affairs Council was formed in 2011 for the purpose of regularly convening plastics surgery stakeholder organizations that have influence in issues affecting the academic development and practice of plastic surgery. The Academic Affairs Council is comprised of selected individuals from the ASPS, PSF, YPS, ACAPS, RRC, ABPS, AAPS, and PSRC. The primary goal of the Council is to identify, discuss and develop actionable plans such that collectively as a specialty plastic surgery can address a coordinated academic affairs agenda while avoiding unnecessary and inefficient duplication of effort and resources. The Academic Affairs Council (through its organizational members) is responsible for identifying and discussing issues and trends , and for developing an actionable agenda to effectively address important issues facing the academic development and practice of plastic surgery. The Council meets in person two times each calendar year. One meeting occurs during the AAPS Annual Meeting. One meeting occurs during the ASPS/PSF Annual Meeting. The time commitment of council members normally does not exceed 10 hours per year. ASPS Active Members and Candidates for Membership in good standing are eligible to serve. Members are appointed to the Council by the Academic Affairs Council Organizations that they represent. The Academic Affairs Council is comprised of individuals that are selected by their respective participating organization. Council members are not selected through the committee application process.

PSF Volunteers in Plastic Surgery Steering Committee

Goals

The Volunteers in Plastic Surgery (VIPS) Steering Committee and Forum represents the interests and concerns of volunteer plastic surgeons that desire to, or already participate in domestic and international service missions to developing countries. The Forum also serves as a resource for defining and promoting "best practices" for service teams. The VIPS Steering Committee aims to identify "best practices" of service missions of established service organizations for dissemination to all interested volunteer groups. Steering Committee members should expect to devote 5-10 hours annually to committee business. In addition, Steering Committee members participate in up to two conference calls annually and the Annual Meeting activities, which include the Steering Committee meeting and the VIPS Forum (held in odd numbered years).
