CAS Workshop
Academic and Scientific Society Interactions with Industry

This workshop will consider the range of corporate involvement in academic and scientific society activities and how such interactions are and should be managed. The management efforts of three societies will be explored and breakout sessions will consider specific issues related to publications (journals and supplements); lectures and sponsored meeting programs and sessions; awards and amenities; and, corporate sponsorship of other society activities. At the conclusion of the workshop, the participants will discuss whether model principles and guidelines are advisable and, if so, how they could best be developed.

CAS Plenary Session
Patients (Real and Simulated) and Medical Education

The use of standardized patients and simulators has expanded across the medical education continuum. This session will explore the critical elements involved in the choice of whether to utilize standardized patients, simulators, or real patients, and the qualitative and quantitative costs and benefits that result from such a decision. Speakers will be asked to summarize the available outcome studies regarding various types of instruction and discuss what factors will affect the future of standardized patients and simulators in medical education.

CAS/ORR Plenary Session
The Primary Focus of Medical Education: Learner or Patient?

Medical education exists to educate students and residents, while also providing high quality patient care. In practice, there are inevitable tensions and choices in determining whether a given action or policy is really in the best interest of the learner or the patient. Reconciling these sometimes competing interests raises fundamental ethical conflicts. This session will explore how the focus on trainee performance and trainee satisfaction can compromise provider performance and patient outcomes. The speakers will be asked to suggest how the medical education enterprise should reconcile these sometimes competing challenges.

CAS Plenary Session
Faculty and learner Autonomy and Supervision: Finding the Balance

Faculty and physician independence and autonomy have long histories in western academia and medicine. Growing demands for accountability and greatly increased compliance burdens have diminished faculty and learner independence and autonomy. Using specific examples of where faculty and student autonomy have been challenged, the speakers will address the reasonableness of the concerns, whether the accountability-autonomy pendulum has swung too far, and whether the current environment of increased supervision is diminishing academic medicine.
