Leading clinical faculty from medical schools across Canada met at CAUT in late August for the inauguration of CAUT’s Clinical Faculty Committee. Established by CAUT’s executive to advise on issues affecting clinical faculty, the new committee is focusing on challenges faced by clinical faculty in achieving the same rights and protections as all other academic staff at Canadian universities. Alan Jackson, a neurologist at Queen’s University was elected chair of the committee.
