Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
JOHN F. KENNEDY
Leading an academic medical center entails not only the
management of its academic, research, and clinical enterprises
but also responsibility for ensuring an unwavering focus on the
institution's core purpose--to improve health and reduce the
burden of illness on society.
That's why leadership at the Medical College of Georgia isn't
charged to simply one person. Instead, President Rahn assembles
a team of the university's top administrators every week to
focus on the institution's values, mission, strategic
initiatives, and goals. The role of the President's Cabinet is
to receive and disseminate information about institutional
issues; to advise one another on such issues; to set
institutional policy; and to play an active role in the decision
making process.
Ultimately, it is the members of President's Cabinet who are
responsible for charting the institution's course and for
ensuring that appropriate resources are in place to facilitate
realization of MCG's vision--to become one of the nation's
premier health science universities.
