GSA Plenary - Physician Workforce Expansion and Diversity:
How Do We Make This Work?
Given our nation's increasingly multiracial and multicultural
makeup, medical educators must address this issue if tomorrow's
doctors are to be optimally equipped to deal with our nation's healthcare
needs. Out of the 125 U.S. medical schools, 12 (9.6%) have graduated
30 percent of all minority physicians since 1950. Discussion about
the expansion of the physician workforce would be disingenuous &
remiss without a frank & honest discussion about the critical challenge
facing our nation with the respect to increasing diversity in the
healthcare workforce. It is a fact that the U.S. is becoming more
diverse. According to the Sullivan Commission report, together,
African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and American Indians make
up more than 25 percent of the U.S. population but only 9 percent
of the nation's nurses, 6 percent of its physicians, and 5 percent
of dentists. Similar disparities show up in the faculties of health
professional schools. Support for a direct link between poorer health
outcomes for minorities and the shortage of minority health care
providers came from the Institute of Medicine's landmark study,
Unequal Treatment. That study documented the lower quality of health
care and higher rates of illness, disability, and premature deaths
among minority populations. Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare
are a major blight on our system -- and on our profession. A more
diverse physician workforce is one critical step toward eliminating
those disparities.
With these critical issues in mind, this session will
discuss the AAMC's recent call for an increased physician workforce
and discuss some specific strategies that other institutions are
currently using to increase diversity in the physician workforce
as a means to help address the health and healthcare needs of poor
and minority populations. This session will provide a perspective
that spans the scope of medical education including: the admissions
process, postgraduate residency training and faculty development.
Questions and Answers to follow.

GSA Plenary - Dual Degrees: Opportunities for Students,
Challenges for Administrators
Opportunities for Students, Challenges for Administrators
This session will address some of the issues medical schools are
facing in understanding the implications of dual, joint, combined,
and concurrent degrees. The proliferation of these programs continues
and student requests for them has not decreased. From Admissions
to Financial Aid to Registrars to Student Affairs, dual degrees
have presented us with an area that needs greater understanding
and coordination. Presenters will share their experience and expertise
with this area as well as cautions when developing, monitoring,
and advising on dual degree programs.Some particular areas of concern
are marketing of such programs, tuition models, as well as the complexity
of financial aid and registration issues.

GSA Plenary - Emergency Preparation and Disaster
Planning: What to Do When The Unthinkable Happens Part II
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and any unforeseen
occurrence can constitute an emergency situation that not only disrupts
normal operations, but also threatens personal safety. Can you prepare
for the unthinkable? How do you prepare for the unthinkable? How
do you pick up the pieces and move forward again? How do you lead
others in the same process? There are things that can be done in
advance to prepare your institution and the facilities to which
we are attached. We are among the "first responders" and
society as a whole will be looking to us for care and direction
in the midst of catastrophic events. We have multiple responsibilities
to our families, our students, our institutions, the communities
in which we live, and ourselves. While good preparation won't change
the events, it can make the difference in the outcomes and the ability
of your institution, department, or community to move forward. An
institution's ability to move forward will be greatly dependent
on the ability of its people to manage the personal aspect of any
emergency. Join us as we gain a better understanding of the emergency
management cycle and learn the steps to developing an institutional,
as well as a personal, emergency preparedness plan.

GSA Plenary - Professionalism in Medicine: What Are
We Looking For and How Do We Find It?
This session is intended to serve as a focus for discussion
on approaches to identifying, describing, and evaluating characteristics
and behaviors that define Professionalism. The target audience includes
Health Professions Advisors, Admissions Officers, and Student Affairs
staff, all of whom are involved in assessing and reporting on professionalism.
The program will cover the following aspects of the
problem:
- A brief review of the history. How has this
issue reached such prominence in so short a period of time?
- How do we define and describe professionalism? What
are the key behaviors, traits, personal characteristics, points
of personal history that allow us to evaluate and report on professionalism
at the applicant, medical student, and physician levels?
What do successful evaluation programs look like?
How are these abstract concepts translated into concrete policies
and programs? What works and what doesn't work? What resources are
available for institutions working to develop programs?
Major take-home points from the session might include the following:
- Straightforward understanding of what we mean when
we talk about professionalism.
- Identification of several concrete, measurable characteristics
or behaviors that represent professionalism.
- Familiarity with successful strategies to implement
professionalism evaluation at the applicant, student, and physician
levels.
