SAC Committee

​​​The HPDC program is under the continuous administration and guidance of the Scientific Advisory Council (SAC) at AUBMC. This council includes members from all the medical and administrative units at the hospital and represents one of the major sources of the activities.

 ​​
The SAC's role is to advise and assist the HPDC on matters related to:

  • The role requested by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) that each institution has a Post Graduate Medical Education Council.

  • Compliance with ACCME guidelines and ANCC accreditation standards, in terms of assessing needs, defining the target audience and other requirements for developing CME and CNE courses​

  • Gaps and needs analysis in CME and CNE

  • Strategic plans and periodic course of action for the HPDC

  • Topics and suggestions for courses, conferences and workshops from AUBMC, and other local and regional universities and hospitals

  • Planning themes and topics for CME/CNE/CPE activities including MEMA over a 3-year cycle

  • Identifying scientific subcommittees to work with HPDC activity directors including MEMA

  • Recommending to Activity Directors, including the President of the MEMA, the choice of topics/themes, guest speakers to consider and ideas and means to reach out to larger audiences
