CCCC Med Rhet Standing Group – Rhetoricians of Health and Medicine

The CCCC Executive Committee made the decision to allow Special Interest Groups (SIGs) the opportunity to become a standing group.

Existing member groups may take on a more formal, long-standing relationship to CCCC by applying for Standing Group status. A Standing Group begins as a Special Interest Group (SIG) or other group with sustained organization and membership…. Standing Groups are formally reviewed by the CCCC Officers every three years. In recognition for this level of responsibility to CCCC, each Standing Group will be allotted one designated panel in addition to a business meeting at the CCCC Annual Convention, subject to the Program Chair’s approval. Standing Group panels will be vetted in consultation with the Program Chair. Standing Group business meetings will be held during the regular slots made available for such meetings by the Program Chair.

In 2015, the Medical Rhetoric SIG applied for and was granted standing group status.
