CAS/GEA/GSA/GRAND Joint Plenary Session
Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians
A panel formed by AAMC and HHMI recently examined the natural science
competencies for entering medical students and those that a graduating
physician needs to practice science-based medicine effectively with
the goal of achieving greater synergy and efficiency in the continuum
of premedical and medical education. This session will discuss the
panel's findings and the opportunities and challenges inherent in
implementing the panel's recommendations.

CAS and Academic Family Medicine Joint Plenary Session
Improving the Health of Communities - The Role of
Primary Care Research
The session will address the timely and critical intersection of
primary care, community health, and research through a dialogue
about primary care research networks and academic medicine (including
the Clinical Translational Science Awards, CTSAs). An important
part of this conversation will be insights into primary care connections
with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding
community research opportunities, and experiences. Funding for primary
care research is available, but requires a degree of organization
beyond what many departments and networks can do on their own. This
session will explore how and why the time is ripe for partnerships
and collaborations.
A plenary speaker from the new AAMC leadership will
be followed by a moderated panel offering varying perspectives as
follows:

CAS Plenary Session
Comparative Effectiveness Research: The Opportunities
and Challenges for Academic Medicine
The generation and use of evidence that compares treatments
has become a hotly contested public policy issue. Some see "comparative
effectiveness" research as a way to improve clinical practice and
constrain health care expenditure growth while expanding access
to effective treatments. Others contend that it is a thinly veiled
effort to ration care. This session will explore comparative effectiveness
research and what it means for academic medicine.
