Committee Composition

The committee consists of three full-time faculty members elected by the Assembly and three full-time faculty appointed by the Dean. A representative of the UF Health Information Technology group and the Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs and Quality Assurance will serve as ex officio members. Faculty will serve staggered three-year terms. The committee elects the Chair and Vice Chair from among the members.

Standing Committee Charge

It is the responsibility of this committee to provide strategic planning and direction for information technology support needed to accomplish the missions of the college (clinical, academic, teaching, research). This is achieved through active input from UFCD faculty and staff and a two-way dialogue with UF Health IT. The IT Steering Committee will periodically review IT service, performance and effectiveness and make recommendations to the Dean regarding resources needed to support identified college needs.
