Steve Abman (SA) Welcome to the 10th and final session of our APS-SPR Joint Virtual Chat Series on “Challenges in Academic Medicine”. This series was designed to provide an ongoing forum to discuss diverse and critical issues impacting academic pediatrics. The purpose of this series was to create a structured, yet informal, approach that would encourage direct dialog in a conversational format, involving leading academic pediatric experts. Diverse members of the pediatric community across multiple disciplines and across the full range of the “pipeline” or academic lifespan are part of the “virtual conversation”.

Today’s session is entitled, “Aligning Academic Medicine within the Academic Healthcare System”. Successfully achieving our goals of our academic missions, especially in regard to education and training, research, advocacy, and clinical care, are highly dependent on the relationships between our medical schools, affiliated hospitals, and business strategy departments. Balancing fiscal challenges with these academic pursuits requires many talents, as well as strong and visionary leadership. Understanding this interface is essential for our successes in academic medicine. We are excited to have three outstanding leaders with expertise and track records regarding these complex issues.
