Administrative Directors Council

Do you oversee the administrative, financial and/or operational functions of a PM&R department or division? Then you belong in the AAP’s Administrative Directors Council!

We are tasked with addressing and overseeing business issues within academic PM&R programs including health care reform, finance management, physician compensation, productivity metrics, research management, career development, strategic planning, operational success and more. These are daunting tasks (and ever-evolving!), which is why we work together to grow our resources, collaboration and camaraderie through the Council and AAP Annual Meeting.

Administrative Directors at Annual Meeting

Every year at the AAP’s Annual Meeting, the Administrative Directors Council puts together workshops and sessions designed to help you develop the right skills, resources, and mindset to succeed. Each year, we hold a workshop and social event that joins department leaders – Chairs & Administrative Directors – to learn and network together.

Here’s a look at some of the subjects we have touched on in past Physiatry meetings:

• Best Practices for Administrator & Coordinator Collaborations
• Emergency Planning
• Best Practices to Mitigate Burnout & Promote Wellness in the Age of COVID-19
• Joint Chair Council & Administrative Directors Council Business Meeting
