AAMC Focus Sessions
Institute for Improving Clinical Care: Transforming Chronic Care
in Academic Settings
Redefining health care for the 100 million Americans with serious
chronic illness requires transformation of the healthcare system
from one that is essentially reactive — responding mainly when a
patient is sick — to one that is proactive and focused on keeping
a person as healthy and functional as possible. This session will
present case studies — anchored in the application of evidence-based
strategies for chronic illness care and residency education — from
the remarkable innovation that has taken place in the Academic Chronic
Care Collaborative, an ongoing network of 48 teams from 22 medical
schools and teaching hospitals.
Moderator:
David P. Stevens, MD
Vice President, Healthcare Improvement
AAMC
Industry Support of Medical Education
The AAMC is committed to better understanding and minimizing the
potentially undesirable impact of gifts and other blandishments
from drug and medical device makers on the educational missions
of academic medical centers. This session will explore the extent
of subvention, evidence that assesses its impact on medical education,
and available options for mitigating those impacts.
Implementing a Vision for Medical Education: Opportunities
and Action
In July 2004, the AAMC's Institute for Improving Medical Education
issued the report, "Educating Doctors to Provide High Quality Medical
Care: A Vision for Medical Education in the United States." The
AAMC's Group on Educational Affairs was invited to respond to the
report, in particular with ideas for implementation of the report's
recommendations. During the past year, the GEA has developed implementation
strategies and a research agenda in response to the five areas of
the report. This session will provide a forum for discussion of
the GEA's response to the IIME report.

The Women's Health Initiative: Answers and Questions
The WHI was launched in 1991 to perform large, long-term clinical
trials to assess the effects of a low-fat diet on breast and colorectal
cancer, menopausal hormone therapy on heart disease, and calcium
and vitamin D supplementation on hip and other osteoporotic fractures
in postmenopausal women aged 50-79. An observational study was added
to complement the trials, resulting in the collection of health
outcomes, with and without specific interventions, on over 160,000
women for an average of 8 years, at a total cost of $725M. Recent
reports from the study have challenged important, long-held understandings
pertaining to women's health and have generated controversy over
the study's design and methodology. This session will review the
major findings of the WHI, some of the controversies they generated,
and the challenge to journalists who follow the WHI and attempt
to explain its findings and controversies to the public.

From the Battlefield to the Clinic: Treating America's
Newest Veterans
This is the 60th anniversary year of Policy Memorandum
#2, the VA document which established the partnerships between VA
Medical Centers and America's medical schools. This partnership
ushered in a new higher quality system of care for the veterans
of WWII. It is appropriate today to consider the medical needs of
our newest veterans, arising out of their experiences in the Middle
East. This session will provide insight into care of the war wounded.
It will cover battlefield interventions, the latest physical rehabilitation
techniques and prostheses, and the emerging neurobiology of PTSD.
