Message from the President
Dear Members of the Association of Medical School Pharmacology Chairs (AMSPC) and Visitors, I am delighted as President to welcome you our web site and to serve as President. AMSPC is an organization composed of Members who are current and emeritus Chairs of medical school pharmacology departments in the United States and Canada and Associate Members from other countries. AMSPC is dedicated to promoting pharmacology as a discipline and our overall focus includes: medical and graduate student education; scientific research; research funding; interfaces with industry; and faculty development. Each year the membership holds an annual winter meeting in January or February to update members on important developments in these areas and allow members to interact in an informal atmosphere that promotes exchange of ideas, cooperation among departments and formation of new friendships and collaborations. I encourage you to attend our upcoming annual meeting in February, 2010. As individual chairs of our respective departments, we have our work cut out for us in the coming years. AMSPC will be invaluable to us as we address major issues affecting our discipline and our home institutions. I think you will agree that the economic climate in the nation and worldwide has deeply affected our goals for education, faculty recruitment, research and funding, both federal and institutional. Active and emeritus AMSPC members are an excellent source of advice, and we can learn from one another what works and what does not. Please explore our web site. The sidebars on this page provide some information on our annual meetings and links to our members’ web pages. AMSPC also maintains and regularly updates the Knowledge Objectives in Medical Pharmacology --- the essential elements of pharmacology that should be taught to medical students. In addition, AMSPC maintains a close relationship with FASEB through the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. This also encourages interactions with pharmacologists in any career area, such as other educational venues. Please feel free to contact me ( CONTACT _Con-427CE3B5235 bsloane@med.wayne.edu) or any of the AMSPC officers if you have any comments or questions. Best regards, Bonnie F. Sloane, Ph.D. |
