CAS, APM Workshop (By invitation only)
The Physician Scientist Workforce: A Workshop for Clinical Faculty
Leaders
AAMC and APM recognize that many organizations are working
to address the multiple concerns surrounding the development, nurturing,
and sustenance of physician-scientists, who we define as any MD
or MD-PhD who devotes the majority of his/her time to seeking new
knowledge about health and disease through research, whether basic
research, clinical research, translational research, or health services
research.
The goals of this workshop are to (1) encourage and
prepare participants to be change agents within their institutions vis-à-vis steps to improve the development and retention of physician-scientists
and (2) encourage stakeholders from a variety of clinical disciplines
to work collectively on a national agenda for revitalizing interest
in physician-scientist careers.

CAS, COD, GEA Joint Plenary
Financing Continuing Medical Education: Evolving Questions, Evolving
Models
This session will highlight the recent recommendations
of the AAMC Task Force on Industry Support for Medical Education
related to commercial support of Continuing Medical Education and
the development of clinical practice guidelines. Other reports,
including the Macy Foundation statement on continuing education
in the health professions, raise concerns about the possible negative
effects of the commercial support of CME. Plenary presentations
will discuss the ethical issues that should guide the sponsorship
of medical school and teaching hospital CME and the specific recommendations
of the AAMC Task Force on Industry Support for Medical Education.
A response panel will then discuss the practical implications of
evolving support models that limit or prohibit corporate funding.

CAS Plenary Session
The Baby Boomer Time Bomb
This session will consider how the aging of America
will affect health care workforce needs, the research agenda, and
patient care demands. A new report from the Institute of Medicine
finds that aging Americans will face a health care work force that
is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health
needs. The panel's findings and their recommendations will be discussed,
especially those that affect medical schools, teaching hospitals,
and their faculty. The National Institute on Aging's scientific
effort to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy,
active years of life will be discussed, including how the NIA is
promoting and using the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health (ICF). The final presentation will consider
how facilitating improved patient functionality and engagement can
influence health trajectories. The session will also consider how
functionality is assessed and classified and how such definitions
are both taught and subsequently utilized by practitioners.
