CHAI Affiliate Faculty
About the CHAI Affiliate Faculty Program
CHAI Affiliate Faculty are faculty members of Children’s National Hospital and/or George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and School of Nursing who are contributing substantially to CHAI’s mission of advancing "policy and systems changes to achieve health equity for all children."
Specifically, CHAI Affiliate Faculty members participate and lead in advocacy education, legislative advocacy, community benefit programs and other CHAI initiatives. CHAI Affiliate Faculty applications are accepted on an annual basis and then renewed annually by CHAI Medical Directors based on the individual’s involvement within CHAI’s priority activities. Affiliate members are not required to have salary support from CHAI.
