The Academic Council was established to ensure that Cambridge Health Alliance pursues its academics with the highest integrity and creativity in concert with the institution’s strategic plan. The council includes representation from the major academic departments and administrative leaders. It reports to CHA’s CEO and its Board of Trustees. The Academic Council Advisory Board (AAB) is a select advisory and decision-making body composed of leaders of our UME, GME, CME, and research operations. AAB members are noted by an asterisk.
