| Title | A Road Map to Involving Medical Educators in Post-Pandemic Fundraising |
| Rationale/Background | This is a time of economic, societal, and political challenges in higher education. Traditional funding models must change as governments decrease funding to hospitals and universities. There is an increasing need to diversify their business models, including exploring new revenue streams. In order to diversify their traditional revenue streams, universities are increasing their international student, residents and fellows recruitment efforts as well as seeking revenue-generating partnerships. They are expanding their research boundaries as global actors and agents of change. Interest in raising significant funds from private sources is stronger than ever, leading to the need for even more sophisticated fundraising approach, including virtual models learned during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as multi-party public-private partnerships. As such, medical educators must become agents of change and reflect on strategies to successfully implement fundraising programs in academic environments toward achieving total revenue generation targets resulting in maximum impact. This workshop aims to raise awareness about the role of clinician educators in revenue generation, and in particular, fundraising strategies used prior to and during the Pandemic. This workshop will feature strategies that anyone can use to ensure the successful application not only of traditional fundraising strategies in an academic environment but also with enhanced virtual modalities based on recent experiences. |
